Why working from home remains important. Ines Imdahl in Horizont online on the RTO trend.

After the restrictions imposed by the Corona pandemic and the associated opportunities to work in a home office, many employers are currently returning to the office. Early on, the trend had a name or rather an abbreviation: RTO, Return to Office.

Ines Imdahl points out the importance of appreciation in this context. She says: "Employees feel patronized by the office obligation or experience it as a vote of no confidence." And this applies even if the self-structuring of working hours and workspace in mobile office or home office is more stressful for many employees. "By no means everyone finds it easy to build a concentrated working constitution outside of the office," she emphasizes.

"Nevertheless, as an appreciation for them, they would like to keep the option of mobile office or home office, because otherwise it seems like a withdrawal of privileges."
