If your productivity graph nosedives the second people return onsite, the problem might not be related to WHERE people are working from.

RTO mandates driven by nostalgia or control, rarely land well with many employees.
People aren’t resisting the office.
They are resisting being treated like children, or that they can’t be trusted to deliver.
And nothing makes your office staff happier than having to commute to the office, to then sit at their desk and have meetings via Teams or Zoom.

If the goal is output, collaboration, and culture, maybe start by asking why your team no longer thrives under the model you’re pushing.
Let’s stop pretending it’s about productivity when the data – and the employees – say otherwise.
