One company pays workers up to $8,000 a year to come in instead of forcing RTO. Is this the future of work or a bandaid?

"Eight out of ten business leaders admitted to losing talent as a result of return-to-office mandates, highlighting the challenges companies face in bringing employees back to the office."

"Superhuman's chief people officer noted that the shift from mandates to financial incentives resulted in employees opting to work in the office more frequently, with attendance rising to 85%."

"Employees who choose to work from the office two days a week receive a $500 quarterly wellness stipend, which can be used for various personal expenses, incentivizing in-office attendance."

"The company also focused on improving office culture by introducing daily lunch and social hours, which, combined with financial incentives, significantly increased employee presence in the office."

Superhuman shifted from mandates to financial incentives, offering stipends for employees who choose to work in the office. This approach led to increased attendance, with employees showing up 85% of the time they committed to. Enhancing office culture also contributed to the success of this strategy.
