Building Purpose into the Workplace: What Return-to-Office Transitions Can Teach Us About Employee Engagement

The following is a guest blog from our partners at the International Rescue Committee.  Return-to-office isn’t just a logistics challenge — it’s a chance to rebuild connections, community, and a shared sense of purpose. At the International Rescue Committee (IRC), we’ve spent years thinking about how people find belonging and meaning at work, both internally and through our partnerships with corporate allies. Here’s what we’ve learned.  Connection Doesn’t Happen by AccidentEmployees don’t reconnect simply because they’re back in the same building.
