Understanding RTO Mandates

Return-to-office (RTO) mandates have become increasingly common as companies adjust their hybrid work policies. While some organizations cite collaboration and culture as reasons, employees often bear significant financial and time costs.

Beyond direct commute costs, consider other expenses that may increase: work wardrobe, lunches, childcare adjustments, and pet care. Many workers report that RTO mandates effectively reduce their take-home pay by thousands of dollars annually.
