Defeating the Four Horsemen of the Mandated Return to Office: Employee Resistance, Attrition, Quiet Quitting, and DEI
In this engaging, interactive, and entertaining presentation, you will dramatically improve your ability to defeat the four biggest problems associated with the mandated return to office:
- Employee resistance
- Attrition
- Quiet quitting
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
After announcing a return to the office, many leaders feel surprised at the extent of the first horseman: Resistance. Such resistance may involve public criticism and complaints, as well as refusals to come in at all or for the mandated hours. Mid-level managers often refuse to hold their staff accountable and enforce a mandated return to office.
The second horseman faced by leaders is Attrition. That includes a small number of people quitting on the spot, but many starting to look actively for a new job once they find out about the return to office.
The third horseman is Quiet Quitting, meaning staff disengaging and doing the minimum necessary to not get in trouble.
Finally, the fourth horseman is a serious blow to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Underrepresented groups – blacks, LGBTQ, parents, women, people with disabilities – tend to have a much stronger preference for remote work. They quit in much higher numbers than white males over mandated returns to office.
In Dr. Gleb Tsipursky's consulting for 21 companies in returning to the office, he has developed a number of best practices to address each of these four horsemen effectively, as well as clear metrics to measure the success of your return to office. This webinar offers case studies and best practices based on Dr. Tsipursky's experience, and by adopting the methods from this training, your team will excel at measuring and minimizing resistance, attrition, and quiet quitting, while protecting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
