Return-to-office orders drive attendance bump, but hybrid work tools remain crucial
Briefly

Major companies such as Starbucks, Target, and Google are requiring employees to return to the office more frequently. Starbucks mandates four days in-office starting October, with a voluntary exit program available. Target requests its employees return three days a week, allowing flexible weekday choices. 3M and other firms like U.S. Bank and General Mills have also implemented similar requirements.
