In March of last year, we all had to transition to a work-from-home environment. 18 months later, we are now preparing to transition back into the office.”

Making office life a bit less dull

Speaking to WeirdKaya, Baker Tilly Malaysia said the move was merely to add a bit of fun at the workplace.

Our audit partners decided to lead the way by heading back to office for their first meeting dressed in this ‘top-formal, bottom-casual’ attire, just like how many of us did during our video meetings.”

When asked about their audit partners’ reaction, Baker Tilly Malaysia said they had a ball showing off their WFH attire in the office.

“Many were very amused by how sporting our partners were. It brought lots of glee and wows’ too!”

Would you dare suggest this idea to your boss? Let us know!
