Return with Intention: Building Work Models that Focus on How, Not Where

As economic pressure mounts, many CEOs urgently push for return-to-office (RTO) policies, with 56% of HR leaders reporting direct pressure to enforce them. But are these mandates driving the results leadership expects?
‍

Join us for a deep dive into what’s actually working in today’s workplace models. Drawing on exclusive findings from Leapsome’s 2025 HR Insights Report — based on data from 1,000 HR decision-makers — this session unpacks the real impact of RTO mandates and explores the importance of considering not just where work happens, but how.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why 81% of HR leaders say forced RTO isn’t the most effective model for collaboration — and how flexibility-first approaches are proving to drive productivity, innovation, and engagement
• The risks of top-down mandates for trust, culture, and retention — and how HR can influence leadership with people data, not just policy enforcement
• Strategies to design intentional, inclusive remote, hybrid, or in-office policies that actually work

Whether you’re navigating RTO pressure, designing a hybrid framework, or defending your people-first culture, this session will equip you with the insights, language, and confidence to lead the conversation — not just react to it.

Don’t just focus on where people work — rethink how great work happens.
