A recent survey by ResumeBuilder.com found that one-in-five employees are not following their company's return-to-office (RTO) policies. The survey, which included 1,030 full-time employees, revealed that 78 percent adhere to the rules, while 18 percent occasionally evade them, two percent rarely follow them, and one percent don't comply at all.
The survey also highlighted that compliance varies based on workers' schedules, with hybrid workers being the most likely to violate RTO policies. Many employees cited challenges such as commute time, costs, lack of flexibility, and difficulty balancing personal responsibilities. https://nypost.com/2024/10/08/lifestyle/1-in-5-employees-dont-follow-return-to-office-policies-survey/ (Oct. 08, 2024.
So, the question for our readers is: Are your employees following your return-to-work policies?
Please take the poll. Here is the opinion of one of the McCalmon editorial staff:
Jack McCalmon
Working from home is considered a benefit of employment or an accommodation. It is not surprising that some workers are not following some return-to-work policies, especially if they preferred working from home. What is surprising is that hybrid workers are more likely not to follow the rules, since they are able to work part of the week from home.
