Return-to-office (RTO) mandates are back in full swing. Industry leaders like **Amazon, AT&T and JPMorgan Chase** are championing five-day office policies, aiming to strengthen culture, improve collaboration and encourage mentorship.

UNLEASH sat down with Cognexo's CEO **Dan Buckley** to discuss the role of tech in making RTO work. While benefits of in-person work are well-understood, HR teams face challenging realities: navigating a minefield of talent and tech hurdles. For employees, RTO mandates can feel like a loss of autonomy — leading to burnout, resentment and a push to explore new opportunities.

It's not just about enforcing policies — it's about investing in platforms that actively boost employee engagement and retention. Tools like real-time feedback systems, mental health resources and AI-driven workforce insights have gone from optional to essential, helping organisations counter disengagement and attrition tied to rigid mandates. Ultimately, a successful RTO isn't just about getting people back to their desks — it's about creating a workplace that respects employees' needs while achieving business goals.
