This year, high-profile companies like Amazon and JPMorgan have embraced strict policies to get their employees back into the office full time, eliminating the option of hybrid work altogether. With limited exceptions, workers who choose not to comply with these new mandates are unlikely to keep their jobslet alone get a raise.One company, however, is willing to shell out thousands of dollars to lure workers back to the office. According to a CNBC report, the celebrity video platform Cameo has promised each of its employees an additional $10,000 annually in exchange for coming into the companys Chicago-based office four days a week.We really felt like we wanted to make HQ a perk, not a punishment, Cameo CEO Steven Galanis told CNBC. We know were asking more out of you to give up the flexibility, and we wanted to compensate you for it. In addition to the $10,000 raise, employees who returned to the office this week will receive perks like free lunch and parking, as well as access to a gym. While the policy currently applies only to Chicago-based employees, the company has said it will help cover relocation expenses and extend these benefits to people based elsewhere if they are interested in moving.The leadership team decided on the $10,000 figure by considering what sum of money would move the needle for the majority of employees, but especially for those who are in the earlier stages of their career. That might be the difference between them being able to get an apartment in the city or having to take the train because they live with their parents in the suburbs, Galanis said. Chicago-based employees did not have the option to opt out of going into the office, but Galanis claims that nobody has quit in response to the policy change.Many corporate employees have resisted the RTO push in part because they dont want to give up the flexibility that hybrid work offers. In some cases, they may have even moved to another state and would have to relocate to abide by some of the most stringent policies. But another reason workers have resisted these mandates is because of the financial tax of returning to the office: In fact, surveys have shown that many people are willing to accept a pay cut for a job that allows them to work from home and maintain some flexibility. Research conducted by Harvard Business School found that 40% of workers would take at least a 5% pay cut to keep a remote job; about 9% of respondents said they would accept a cut of 20% or higher. Women were found to be more likely to give up a higher percentage of their salary.Since employees incur costs by going into the office, particularly commute-related expenses, its possible that some people would feel differently about RTO mandates if they received additional compensation. Cameo also reportedly does not plan to track attendance. Its approach could be a model for other companies that want to bring workers back to the officewithout stoking their ire or losing top talent.
