Return to office

Last updated

Return to office (RTO) refers to a reduction or cessation of remote work policies.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses instituted remote work policies. Following the pandemic, businesses recalled their workforce to the office. [1] [2]

The RTO calls increase employee attrition and often impact staff more than management. [3]

RTO efforts have been ascribed to threat rigidity. [4]
