The Workplace Executive Playbook
Over-Indexing on Policy: Why
Data Must Lead
any companies have responded to hybrid
work challenges with rigid mandates like
requiring in-office attendance, setting
blanket schedules, or eliminating remote
options. Without supporting data, these
policies can backfire, eroding trust, hurting
morale, and failing to deliver desired
outcomes.
The most effective workplace strategies
start with data to back them up. Data can
answer critical questions before policies
are drafted, like:
Will our current space support a new
RTO requirement?
Are our most valuable teams already
coming in voluntarily?
Which roles or regions require different
approaches?

By modeling scenarios and testing
assumptions, leaders can design policies
that are both realistic and cost-effective.
And once implemented, they can measure
outcomes, allowing for ongoing iteration.
