Could Return to Office Mean a Second Chance at a First Impression?
About this episode
You never get a second chance at a first impression – except maybe right now. More workers are going back to the office, and that’s giving some the chance to reset the relationships they’ve formed online with colleagues, bosses and their employees. We hear from a worker who started a new job remotely during the pandemic. She recently experienced meeting her colleagues IRL, and it affected her perception of her workmates and their impressions of her. And then we talk to neuroscientist Daniela Schiller about how our brains process first impressions, and what that means for how we make one.
