RTO policies, when poorly implemented, can harm employee morale and retention. Experts note that unequal enforcement contributes significantly to decreased motivation. Companies like Starbucks and Amazon face risks when returning employees to the office without careful consideration. Surveys indicate a link between strict RTO mandates and reduced employee commitment. Effective RTO involves gradual implementation, equity in policy enforcement, and giving managers a voice, which can enhance overall employee engagement and retention.
If you're enacting an RTO, you have to be ready for worst-case scenarios that may damage your ability to compete, at least in the medium term.
There's nothing worse than feeling like your coworkers are better treated without any reason. Equity issues do negatively affect motivation.
Inconsistent mandates can create compliance without commitment. RTO mandates made employees 10% less likely to stay and increased quiet quitting by 19%.
RTO policies work best when they are flexible and give managers a say. Go about it gradually.
