President Trump’s recent executive order requiring federal employees to work in their offices five days a week marks a significant shift in workplace policies. While only 10% of federal workers are currently remote, this move may influence private companies to adopt similar strategies, potentially undermining the growing trend of flexibility in work arrangements. Experts warn that this "authoritarian" approach could lead to a retreat from transparent and authentic leadership styles in corporate America, with companies citing collaboration as a primary motive for returning to the office.
It's my way or the highway. By issuing an executive order, Trump is taking an "authoritarian" approach to RTO, Ferraro told HR Brew.
[The administration is saying] 'You're going to do what I say you're going to do, and I don't care,' she said.
Employers retreating on flexibility. Even before Trump's RTO mandate, companies like Amazon and Dell had called their workers back to the office.
This may signal to executives that they can do the same, she said, abandoning the authentic, transparent leadership style that has recently become commonplace in corporate America.
