ReturnSafe Expands its Innovative Return to Office Offerings to Solve For Today’s Greatest Workplace Challenges

ReturnSafe, the pandemic-born, high-growth technology company helping large-scale organizations provide healthy workplaces for employees and minimize business disruption, announced today the expansion of its platform to include future of work solutions. ReturnSafe is rolling out its Hybrid Experience Platform, a first-of-its-kind tool and resource for managers, HR leaders, and employees alike to enable a future-ready workforce, including features to support hybrid work models, flexible schedules, employee engagement and healthier workplaces.

ReturnSafe’s investment to expand its solution comes as more businesses focus on finding effective and creative solutions to improve their employee retention, compete for top talent and optimize workforce engagement and performance. Leading in transforming the future of work is the hybrid work model, providing employees with in-office and remote work flexibility.

According to Gartner, hybrid work is changing how employees experience company culture. Hybrid or remote workers spend 65% less time in offices than before the COVID-19 pandemic and are meeting with their teams in-person two days a week less. By developing a seamless and personalized approach using ReturnSafe’s proprietary Hybrid Work Playbook, HR leaders and business managers can clearly define and measure their hybrid work experience and provide a sense of connectivity while maintaining flexibility for their employees.
