One of the last big pieces of corporate news in 2024 was AT&T mandating a return-to-office (RTO), requiring all office employees to work from the office five days a week starting in January 2025. AT&T’s announcement comes a few months after Amazon made a similar announcement in September 2024. Since mid-2022, executives have been pushing for RTO policies, citing reasons like building stronger company culture, fostering collaboration, and boosting productivity. However, research has consistently shown that the expected benefits of RTO policies are not always realized. In fact, numerous studies, including our own work at Revelio Labs, have found that remote work is often correlated with higher employee satisfaction, better work-life balance, and even lower attrition rates. We have also shown the benefits of remote work for sub-groups of the labor force, most importantly women. Similarly, other research has highlighted the high turnover for female employees, more senior employees, and more skilled employees as a result of mandating RTO.

Managing a remote team might bring new problems, but by addressing these effectively, business leaders can take advantage of the myriad opportunities remote work has to offer.

During the pandemic, many workers discovered they liked working from home, but CEOs want them in the office, and it's created tension.

Here's how remote and hybrid work betters your mental and physical health.

Good leaders are everywhere. They know that the team wants to see them, hear from them, and question them. To instill the confidence and commitment they desire from others, they make themselves highly visible, often going to great lengths to show up physically whenever they can. When on virtual calls, they tend to linger, allowing anyone who wants an extra word with them to find a moment.

Using micro-breaks to stay on top of domestic chores when working from home not only improves your work-life balance, it can also help boost your productivity and focus.

Data is consistent with bosses using RTO to reassert control and scapegoat workers.
