FAQs

Who needs return to office training?

Return to office training is for employees, team leads, and managers in organizations moving from remote work to hybrid or in-office schedules. It helps people frustrated by an RTO mandate and leaders who must explain and carry one out. The 11-minute video is available in English, Spanish and French.

Why do employees resist return to office mandates?

Employees often resist return to office mandates because the order can feel like a loss of trust after years of proving they deliver remotely. Commuting also costs real dollars, hours, and mental energy. Acknowledging these concerns openly, instead of dismissing them, makes it easier to build support for office time.

How should you plan a hybrid work week after a return to office?

Plan a hybrid work week by matching each task to the best setting. Keep remote days for deep, focused work such as writing, coding, or analysis. Group in-office days around brainstorming, project kickoffs, problem-solving, and mentoring. Coordinating office days with your team ensures the people you need are actually there.

What are the benefits of working in the office?

Working in the office offers benefits hard to replicate remotely: unplanned conversations that spark ideas, learning by watching experienced colleagues, and easier mentoring. In-person time also builds trust and relationships, often called social capital, which helps teams handle conflict, ask for help, and recover from setbacks.

How can managers make return to office days worthwhile?

Managers can make return to office days worthwhile by scheduling collaborative work, such as workshops, planning sessions, and team events, on shared office days. Explain the purpose behind the schedule, acknowledge commuting costs, and protect remote days for focused work. Employees accept office time more readily when it clearly adds value.
