This dynamic session uses case studies drawn from the IEEE community to explore effective strategies to address the challenges of mandated office returns, including employee resistance, attrition, quiet quitting, and maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We'll dissect the nuanced dynamics of resistance, from overt opposition to subtler forms, and examine attrition trends that see employees seeking new opportunities in response to return mandates. The phenomenon of quiet quitting, characterized by minimal employee engagement, prompts a reevaluation of engagement and inclusivity strategies. A critical focus will be the impact of return policies on DEI efforts, particularly on underrepresented groups who may prefer remote work due to various socio-economic factors. This session offers actionable insights and best practices to navigate these challenges, fostering a thriving and inclusive post-pandemic workplace. All attendees will have an opportunity to receive a complimentary copy of the speaker's best-selling book on which this talk is based, called Returning to the Office and Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams.
