Two-thirds of employers intend to enforce RTO mandates by the end of 2026.

Four years after companies moved work online to comply with pandemic stay-at-home orders, the question of when and how employees will return to the office is still up for debate. Although policies and perceptions vary across industries and organizations, recent studies reveal that the majority of employers are preparing to return to the office despite employee concerns.

Four years after companies moved work online to comply with pandemic stay-at-home orders, the question of when and how employees will return to the office is still up for debate. Although policies and perceptions vary across industries and organizations, recent studies reveal that the majority of employers are preparing to fully return to the office despite employee concerns. Half of employees would not turn down a new full-time office position if the opportunity had other benefits, regardless of a preference for remote or hybrid roles. (TalenTrust) 1/3 of employees would return to the office without question if their companies issued a mandate. (TalenTrust) 95% of companies said employees will face consequences if they don’t comply with office attendance policies. (Resume Builder) 9 in 10 employers said they will provide incentives to staff for going into the office, such as promotions, catered meals, and upgraded office space. (Resume Builder) 25% of HR representatives developed RTO policies in consultation with employees; in contrast, 80 percent of the same respondents consulted with senior management.
