RTO Policies Boost Collaboration and Efficiency Gains, Study Finds
Briefly

As employers tighten return to office (RTO) rules, new data reveals employee responses. A study by Density shows a 13% drop in office occupancy before RTO implementation, followed by a 28% rise after new rules took effect. This indicates employees initially resisted returning but later embraced in-person work, leading to greater collaboration. Despite fluctuations in attendance, employees showed substantial improvements in effectiveness in office settings. The findings suggest that employees prepared for the RTO transition by organizing their home lives, then tested how strictly the new mandates were enforced in their workplaces.
Density's report highlights that the implementation of tighter RTO mandates tends to lead to a significant initial drop in office occupancy, followed by increased effectiveness once employees return.
The fluctuation in office attendance demonstrates employees' initial resistance to RTO mandates, which then evolved into a greater willingness to return, contributing to enhanced collaboration.
