Return To Office: Definition & Policy Descriptions

Return to office: A “return to office” date is the day in which a company has announced it will expect employees to show up in-person for work after being temporarily allowed to work remotely.

Here’s how we define the remote policies listed in the fourth column.

Office First: The processes required to work in an office lead the company’s operations, with remote processes coming second. The company’s policy is to default to office-based interactions.
Remote First: The processes required to work remotely lead the company’s operations, with in-office processes coming second.
Fully Remote: The company does not have any physical office locations.
Hybrid: The company plans to have employees working from home part of the time and in an office part of the time. Or, employees can choose to work from home or the office. (There are 14 hybrid schedules being tested by companies right now.)

In column five, you’ll see “Office Visit Expectations” (where we list the most common expectation at the company, if there are different expectations by department or role):

1 day/week – 5 days/week: The number of days per week employees need to be in the office.
50%: Employees are expected to spend half of their time in the office.
None: The company has publicly stated its policy and does not expect a certain amount of office visits per week.
Unknown: The company has not publicly stated its office visit expectations for employees.
