Greetings Decision maker,
Why are some states forcing government employees back to the office despite overwhelming evidence that remote work boosts productivity and saves money? Republican-led states like Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin are pushing rigid return-to-office mandates driven more by political theater than data. Ignoring federal and academic research showing the success of hybrid and remote models, these policies risk damaging public service efficiency and triggering costly turnover—just as seen under Biden’s more moderate RTO approach.

"I highly recommend Dr. Gleb coming to your Vistage meeting because it was an outstanding presentation. It was a presentation about really how you think, what kind of questions to ask, how to get through difficult situations. And the biggest thing we talk about at Vistage is decisions. After you leave this meeting, you're going to find out better ways of making decisions and the choices you make and the impact that it has on your business, your personal life, and your spiritual life."
- Chet Tart, Vistage Chair

It’s a puzzle to me why so many things that appear to be solely data-informed become so politicized. Why did WFH grow so politicized, for example? It’s not obvious at all that Republicans should favor government employees working in the office: after all, you can save a lot of money on real estate, as well as on hiring and retention costs, since people are willing to work for less and have better retention when they work remotely at least some of the time. Furthermore, productivity metrics and morale are higher when people can work remotely at least some of the time. But clearly, this issue did become politicized. Is it because of a lack of trust in public workers? Well, you can simply institute more clear accountability and tracking mechanisms, rather than forcing people back to the office, and losing all the benefits. It’s a clear example where culture wars win out over good, common business sense. |
