As companies continue to refine, re-think or double down on their workplace strategies, questions around what a successful return to office (RTO) looks like still remain. How many days in the office? How should it be implemented? How can it evolve as businesses grow and employee expectations shift? It\u2019s true that 5-days-a-week mandates have worked for some. However, in the years following the pandemic, a broader consensus has emerged: there\u2019s a balance to be struck. Long-term success relies on intentionally bringing people back into the office while avoiding a command-and-control approach.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To share some insight, we tapped the experts: Newmark\u2019s President of North American Leasing, Elizabeth Hart; Ryan Jans, the Head of Leasing, EMEA & APAC, for WeWork; and Kovi Reichman, Senior Transaction Manager, JLL for a webinar<\/a> led by Phuong Truong, WeWork\u2019s VP of Global Real Estate, on ‘How to Make this RTO Push Your Last.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n A large portion of companies have implemented RTO mandates, and when deployed without firm dictates and harsh ultimatums, they can be used to build momentum and bring people in. It\u2019s a way for employers to take a more active role in shaping how and when people come together. The most important piece is finding a strategy that works for your company. As our experts explain, the \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d real estate solution doesn\u2019t really work in practice.<\/p>\n\n\nThe Shift from Mandate to Magnet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
