Hybrid Work Key to Attracting Staff, MassMutual CEO Says 

Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. is sticking with a hybrid work model as the best way to attract staff in the post-pandemic era, having just opened a major office overlooking Boston Harbor.

“In a very competitive job market we’ve heard loud and clear from our employees they value the ability to work remotely and from home,” Chief Executive Officer Roger Crandall said Friday in a Bloomberg Radio interview in Boston. “The days of sitting in a cubicle with an employee handbook about what you’re supposed to wear and when you’re supposed to show up frankly are long gone, and that’s a good thing.”
