Nearly three out of four organizations said return-to-office policies could prompt boardroom battles, according to a new survey of U.S. workplace leaders, showing how senior management doesn’t always see eye to eye on the issue. 

RTO mandates were cited as the issue that had the greatest potential to foment conflict among leaders, according to a September poll of 170 human-resources executives by workplace consultant Gartner. Those policies came ahead of such charged topics as layoffs, debates about diversity and ESG, and the adoption of generative AI.
