Buona la Prima - Episode 48

Pietro Faccio and Sergio Rocco of Buona la Prima take us into their wonderful world dedicated to the video game industry.

The Buona la Prima podcast is a partner of Biunivoca.

In this episode, Pietro and Sergio tackle the hot topic of the mandatory return to the office, taking inspiration from what happened at Ubisoft Milan.
The recent strike and internal tensions at the studio have put the spotlight on an issue that concerns the entire industry: can imposing a total return to work really improve productivity and cohesion, or does it risk having the opposite effect?

The analysis highlights how disputes over remote work often hide deeper critical issues related to company culture, trust, and leadership models. The problem is not just where people work, but how performance is measured, how much room is left for autonomy, and what balance is created between collaboration and flexibility.

In a competitive market, rigid policies can impact the ability to attract and retain talent.
The discussion therefore focuses on a crucial point: finding a strategic balance between presence and flexible working, correctly distinguishing between smart working and remote working, including from a regulatory perspective.
For companies and professionals, understanding these dynamics means not falling behind in a rapidly changing world of work.
