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?

Watch our 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.

We 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 equips 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.
