#24 - How to Handle Return to Office Drama: HR vs Execs!

• Christie Hoffman

In this episode of Engagement Academy, we're diving into... *dun dun dunn* Return-to-office policies 😳 

I'll walk you through why forcing employees back could backfire and how to have those tough convos with execs who just want control. We’ll also talk about reframing the discussion to focus on real productivity drivers—hint: it’s not about the office! Plus, why listening to your employees could save you from a mass revolt. Get ready to level up your HR strategy in a way that's win-win for everyone.

Key Themes:

  • Navigating executive priorities around RTO policies
  • Reframing the return-to-office debate for success
  • Avoiding forced changes that cause disengagement
  • Balancing business needs with employee well-being
  • Empowering employees to drive their own productivity
