Back in October, 2022, Harley-Davidson CEO Jochen Zeitz talked about the importance of remote and flexible work to the company going forward. Since employees hadn’t been called back to Milwaukee headquarters since the onset of work-from-home policies instated at the beginning of the pandemic, Zeitz also said that the company would be repurposing that space in ways it wasn’t ready to discuss yet.
It’s now December, 2022—and we have our first preliminary glimpse into what’s going down. To be clear, Harley still hasn’t made any official announcements about its plans yet. However, the thing about construction projects is that, unless they’re small-scale things built of LEGO, they don’t usually start when the heavy machinery and truckloads of building materials show up to a work site. Instead, they start on paper, with things like survey maps that have to get approval before any actual construction can begin.
