RTO Reality: The Best Data & Strategies Straight from the Experts

Overview

The return-to-office (RTO) conversation is no longer about if—it’s about how to do it right. As organizations recalibrate their workplace strategies, one truth has become clear:

❌ RTO done wrong can cost you talent, trust, and time.

✅ RTO done right will earn you retention, respect, and revenue.

Join us for “RTO Reality: The Best Data & Strategies Straight from the Experts”, a thought leadership webinar bringing together leading voices at the intersection of workplace design, employee experience, and the future of work. We’re excited to invite to our expert panel:

  • Brian Elliott, CEO of Work Forward, Publisher at Flex Index, former exec @ Google/Slack
  • Janet Pogue McLaurin, Principal, Global Director of Workplace Research @ Gensler
  • Jessica Kane, Sr. Workplace Experience Manager @ Cushman & Wakefield
  • Jenny Moebius, SVP at Skedda, Host of the Heroes of Modern Work Podcast

In this candid conversation, we’ll unpack the most current RTO data and emerging trends, explore how workplace experience and amenities influence engagement and productivity, and dive into the growing role of hospitality-driven facilities management in making the office a destination—not an obligation.

Whether you're navigating policy decisions, rethinking your office space, or refining employee experience strategy, this session will equip you with actionable insights to approach RTO with intention and impact.
