Employers’ return to office (RTO) mandates are not just meant to bring workers back into the workplace – they are meant to make some workers quit, according to a recent survey.
Over one in four (28 per cent) of remote workers in the U.S. fear they’ll be laid off before their in-office coworkers, and 37 per cent of managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO.
Both groups are right, reports BambooHR: One in four (25 per cent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 per cent) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO.
