The article explores the emerging trend of companies using return-to-office (RTO) mandates not just to reorganize their workforce but potentially as a means to induce voluntary attrition. Following significant moves by companies like Amazon and Intel, many executives appear to welcome the idea that enforced return to the office could lead to personnel cuts without needing formal layoffs. Notably, surveys show a substantial portion of executives are intentionally seeking a reduction in headcount through these mandates, highlighting a shift in corporate strategy amidst a workforce increasingly favoring remote work options.
Many employers have started to view return-to-office mandates as an unofficial strategy for workforce reduction, tapping into a growing desire among employees for remote work.
BambooHR's survey revealed that 25% of executives expressed a hope for voluntary turnover as a result of return-to-office requirements, fundamentally reshaping the narrative around workplace attendance.
