The downsides and benefits of Return to Office Mandates

If you’re a part of the RTO trend, this one’s for you.  

In this episode of "Evolving Your Workplace," hosts Rob Swymer and Carol Schultz explore a recent employee exodus around return-to-office (RTO) policies. Rob expresses strong concerns about the use of terms like "revenge quitting" and "resentment" as both speakers point to fundamental problems with company culture and leadership for employees leaving. 

Plus, the experts discuss how technology has shifted modern workplace dynamics significantly since their early careers. While in-person interaction can be important for building culture, the two advocate for a balanced approach and communication over mandatory full-time office attendance.  

The episode also touches on the struggle of maintaining an expensive office space for hybrid work schedules. Could quarterly in-person meetings with more engagement and flexible scheduling be the answer?
