Dell risks employee retention by forcing all teams back into offices full-time
Briefly

Dell's PR team emphasized the importance of in-person connections for innovation and market leadership. Following a period of flexible work, the sales team was the first to return to the office full-time, citing enhanced productivity from on-site work. However, nearly half of Dell's workforce chose remote options over career advancement, posing risks of talent loss. Research indicates companies enforcing RTO policies typically face increased turnover rates, particularly impacting the high-tech sector, where Dell operates.
We continually evolve our business so we're set up to deliver the best innovation, value, and service to our customers and partners. That includes more in-person connections to drive market leadership.
Sales' RTO brought 'huge benefits' in 'learning from each other, training, and mentorship,' according to Dell corporate strategy SVP Vivek Mohindra.
Nearly half of workers already opted for remote work over being eligible for promotions or new roles, risking personnel retention for Dell.
Companies that issue RTO mandates subsequently lose some of their best talent, with turnover rates increasing by 14 percent on average.
