Avery Morgan, Chief Human Resources Officer at EduBirdie, cautioned that RTO mandates could crush productivity. She noted that such policies may seem beneficial for junior workers needing structure, but if performance for middle and senior managers relies on physical presence, the hiring process has failed. It suggests a need to rethink how employees are managed and evaluated, focusing less on where they are and more on actual performance outcomes.
Many organizations are proposing in-office work for only three days per week, while some are enforcing full-time office attendance. This approach is driving employees to reassess their career priorities and workspace preferences, signaling a shifting landscape in employee expectations and work-life balance. The imposition of these return to office policies doesn't guarantee enhanced collaboration or productivity and instead may backfire by disenfranchising workers.
