The article discusses the tension between remote work benefits and return-to-office (RTO) mandates. While remote work often results in happier, more productive employees, companies are pushing for employees to return to physical offices. To address the discomfort associated with office environments, businesses are improving lighting with adjustable LED bulbs and adding artificial skylights. Despite these enhancements, many employees prefer financial incentivesâlike the $10k raise offered by Cameoâto return, highlighting the limited impact of office amenities compared to tangible financial benefits.
Some companies are trying to make their offices less inhospitable with more pleasant lighting, per The Wall Street Journal.
One survey found that only 37% of workers would happily return for better amenities, while 65% said that a raise would get them to embrace RTO.
In February, Cameo offered $10k raises to employees willing to return to its Chicago office 4x a week.
