Working side-by-side can supercharge company performance. But many office policies miss this mark, focusing on butts in seats instead of brains in sync. In Person offers tactical steps to make the most of in-office time, covering:
How to calculate the right share of work to do in-person for your organization
The playbook for preserving employee flexibility without losing the power of being together
Why some RTO mandates fail spectacularly — and how to succeed
After years of confusion, animosity, and conflicting mandates, In Person finally delivers the answers in a clear, evidence-based roadmap for making smarter decisions with your most valuable resource: your people.
