RTO ≠ Culture: Turning Proximity into True Engagement
Many companies are increasing in-office mandates to "strengthen culture," but culture doesn’t automatically improve with badge swipes or shared spaces.For many leaders, returning to the office means balancing executive pressure with employee pushback. It means trying to reestablish connection in teams that don’t want to give up their autonomy and flexible schedules.
Over time, this leads to a company’s overreliance on visibility as a performance proxy.
That’s why we’re breaking down the systems and behaviors that build culture by design, not proximity.
We will talk about the outdated RTO decisions to avoid and how leaders can translate cultural values into daily actions that lead to higher engagement.
If you’re asking employees to come back to the office, let’s talk about how to make sure they’re set up to be high performers.

1 in 8 companies are increasing the number of required days in the office in 2026. Is your company intentional with this mandate?
If you’re a People, HR, Talent, or DEI leader asked to “bring people back,” this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
The outdated RTO assumptions hurting engagement and how to course-correct.
How to define and operationalize a high-performing culture in a hybrid environment.
The role of leaders and managers in translating cultural values into everyday behaviors.
