A recent survey by recruitment firm Hays revealed that 48% of UK professionals would contemplate quitting if faced with strict return-to-office (RTO) mandates. This trend is more pronounced among women, with 58% indicating a willingness to leave. Key concerns include the increased commuting costs associated with returning to the office, which 73% of respondents cited as a reason for preferring remote work. Pam Lindsay-Dunn of Hays highlighted the risk organizations face in losing top talent due to stringent RTO policies, and a broader study indicates these strict policies could lead to a significant loss of skilled workers.
Faced with a return to office (RTO) mandates, almost half of professionals state they would consider quitting, highlighting discontent surrounding workplace policies.
Eight percent of workers believe that a full-time return to office would raise their costs, significantly impacting their finances, especially for female workers.
Pam Lindsay-Dunn of Hays UK warns that companies imposing strict RTO mandates risk losing valuable talent, as professionals favor hybrid work flexibility.
Research indicates a 'brain drain' is likely for firms enforcing strict RTO policies, as employees seek opportunities that align with their preferences.
