It’s no surprise that return-to-office mandates leave some employees dismayed — many workers don’t want to give up their work-from-home setups and begin commuting again.
A new report from Bamboo HR found that roughly 25% of Vice Presidents and C-suite executives hoped that implementing strict return-to-office policies would help bring on “voluntary turnover” among employees. Meanwhile, 28% of remote employees surveyed reported they would consider leaving their jobs if mandated to a five-day-a-week in-office model.
