In today’s evolving workplace, the debate between flexibility and back-to-office mandates continues to dominate conversations. More organizations are reverting back to in-office requirements, or at the very least, a hybrid office/work from home approach. While some employees thrive in independent, remote settings, others value the structure and collaboration of in-office environments. Some employees will welcome back-to-office mandates that organizational leadership is implementing. And some will resist. But instead of guessing, do you know how your employees feel? Employee Engagement Survey insights help you listen and understand employee sentiment to inform your communication plans around flexibility and back-to-office expectations. Ultimately, these tools help you be more strategic and effective… which can lead to more positive outcomes for all.
Why Employee Sentiment Matters
Employee engagement is more than just a buzzword—it’s a critical driver of retention, satisfaction, and productivity. In times of uncertainty, teams with low engagement typically endure turnover rates that are 18% to 43% higher than highly engaged teams. (source). Misaligned workplace policies, such as rigid return-to-office mandates, can lead to disengagement and even turnover. But how can organizations uncover what their employees really think?
