Thank you to WorkLife and Tony Case for including insight from Landing Point Co-Founder John Lane about the state of RTO policies within the asset management industry. Lots of interesting stats in this 👇
Despite President Trump’s order this week that federal employees working from home get back to their desks, the battle over remote work is far from over. New data reveals a workplace revolution that’s still going strong in many sectors, even as some companies slam their office doors shut. And for HR managers navigating these waters, the latest research offers revealing insights into where the market is actually headed. The message from America’s workforce? Not so fast on those RTO mandates. In this piece by Tony Case, we speak to Laurence Evans of Reputation Leaders Ltd, John Lane of Landing Point, Rick Hermanns of HireQuest Inc., Sarah Bernard of Inclusively, Clark Lowe of O'Connor Company, Curtis Sparrer of Bospar, and Christian Dahl of BCD Travel.
