What counts as a return to office? (Definition)
Return to office: A “return to office” date is the day on which a company has announced it will expect employees to show up in-person after being temporarily allowed to work remotely.
How we define each workplace policy:
- Office First: In-office processes lead the company’s operations. The company defaults to office-based interactions.
- Remote First: Remote processes lead the company’s operations, with in-office processes coming second.
- Fully Remote: The company does not have any physical office locations.
- Hybrid: Employees work from home part of the time and in an office part of the time, or can choose between both.
Office visit expectations:
- 1–5 days/week: The number of days per week employees are required in the office.
- 50%: Employees are expected to spend half their time in the office.
- 0 days/week: The company has publicly stated it does not require a set number of weekly office visits.
- Unknown: The company has not publicly stated its office visit expectations.
