Does Returning to the Office Support Your Company’s Strategy?
The news seems full of companies abandoning remote and hybrid work, requiring their employees to come to the office five days a week. You may wonder if your company should follow suit. Instead of immediately jumping on the RTO bandwagon, however, consider whether and how your strategic goals might actually benefit from a more flexible work arrangement. Specifically, you should ask key questions in the following areas: 1) market and innovation goals, 2) governance, 3) internal data and analytics, 4) recruitment and retention, and 5) manager training. By tying your work arrangements to your metrics for success, you’ll build a stronger remote, hybrid, or fully in-office strategy as opposed to simply following the trends.
