Day requirements, mandates, policy updates. These are just a few things leaders are doing to try to get employees in the office more often. Using new rules and mandates to get their way often leads to negative feelings instead of excitement. What if leaders lead with reasons to come back instead of rules?

This session will explore data, trends and examples from hundreds of large organizations around a reasons-based approach to policymaking for remote, hybrid and on-site working requirements.

Objectives:

• Explore a few examples of reasons-based requirements.
• Consider co-located team versus distributed team scenarios.
• Explore 2023 data and trends from hundreds of the largest companies.
• Think through regional differences, shifting employee expectations and more.
• Consider how flexibility applies to front-line workers who need to be on-site.
