Enforcing RTO policies is a way to ensure that corporate rules are followed and that some employees aren’t working remotely more frequently than their coworkers without permission. “Employers are much more focused now than they were pre-pandemic on quality of workplace experience, the efficiency of seat sharing, and the vibrancy of the districts in which they’re located,” Julie Whelan, CBRE’s global head of occupier research, told CNBC.
