There's been a big uplift in the amount of UK CEO's expecting a full return to the office.

Last year KPMG found that 68% of bosses expected a full return to the office within 3 years. This year that stat has moved up 15% points with 83% expecting that we'll end up with a 5 day office: kpmg.com/uk/en/home/ins….

This comes before the Amazon RTO decision last week - which no doubt would have emboldened some under-the-radar office fanatics.

It begs a really important question: what do these leaders think is going wrong?

One consideration might be that leaders desire to have colleagues in the office is a bellwether for economic conditions.

When the economy was doing (surprisingly) well in 2021 and 2022 these issues were less prevalent. Now that the economic outlook is bleak are bosses trying to mitigate poor results by exercising greater organisational control?

Is it about organisational anaemia? That hybrid teams feel less motivated?

What do you think?
