I te 9 o Hepetema 2025, ka pānuitia e Microsoft i roto i tōna blog mana, mai i te tau e haere mai, me noho ngā kaimahi ki te tari mō te iti rawa e toru ngā rā ia wiki. He tohu tēnei o te huringa whaiaro o ngā kumehākete hangarau ki te huri tono i te mahi mamao, ā, kua puta te korerorero whānui i te rāngai. I mea te Kai‑whakahaere Tangata a Microsoft, Amy Coleman, i roto i te blog, ko te whāinga kia "whakapiki i te mahi tahi me te auahatanga", ā, ka mahia i ngā wāhanga e toru: tuatahi ki ngā kaimahi e noho tata ana ki te pāmu matua o Redmond, Washington (i roto i te 50 maero), ka whai mana tae atu ki te mutunga o Pēpuere 2026; nō muri mai ka whakawhānui ki ērā atu wāhi o Amerika; ā, ka tīmata ngā whakamahere mō ngā kaimahi ā‑ao i te tau e haere mai.
Kāore tēnei whakataunga i te mea ahu noa; he wāhanga tēnei o te ngaru RTO (Return to Office) o te rāngai IT i te tau 2025. Kua tautuhia e ngā kamupene nui pērā i Amazon, Google, Meta me Apple ō rātou aukatinga mahi, e pana ana i te aronga nohonoho whakamahere kia whakapakari. E ai ki te pūrongo a Fortune 500 RTO, tae noa ki Hepetema, 83% o ngā kamupene nui o Amerika e whakamahi ana i te aranga whakauru (hybrid), ā, 12% o ēnei e tono ana kia whā ngā rā ia wiki, he pikinga 4% i te whakatairite ki te mutunga o 2024. Kua whakamahi i ngā rauemi pērā i Reuters, CNBC, GeekWire me Business Insider tēnei tuhinga hei tirohanga ki ngā taipitopito me ngā āhuatanga o te rāngai.
I ahu mai te kaupapa RTO a Microsoft i te āwangawanga mō ngā āhua mahi i muri i te mate urutā. Mai i te 2020, kua noho te mahi mamao hei tikanga; engari i te piki haere o te ohanga me ngā āwangawanga mō te whai hua mahi tahi, kua tīmata ngā kamupene hangarau ki te huri hoki. I mua, i whakaaetia e Microsoft te noho wāwāhi i ngā rā toru ia wiki, engari he kaha ake te here o te kaupapa hou. I whakapuakina e Coleman ko te taiao o te tari he tautoko mō ngā whakapā kanohi ki te kanohi me te kotahitanga ā‑tīma, ā, ka whakamahere te kamupene ki te tautoko i ngā kaimahi mamao, pērā i ngā wā uurutā me ngā taputapu hui ā‑ipurangi. E ai ki ngā taipitopito whakaurunga, me urutau ngā kaimahi o Redmond ki te tauira toru rā ia wiki i mua i te mutunga o Pēpuere 2026, ā, ka puta he rārangi wā mō ērā atu wāhi o US; ka whai āta aronga hoki ngā tīma ā‑ao (pērā i Europi me Ahia) i te 2026. He ritenga tukanga ngā wā here, pērā i te whāngai me ngā take hauora, me te whakaaetanga a te kaiwhakahaere. Ka rōpūhia te kaupapa ki runga i ngā kaimahi neke atu i te 220,000 i te ao, ā, e pā ana ngā īmēra ā‑roto kei reira te aroturuki i te whakatinanatanga me te whakamahinga pea i ngā aromātai mahi.
Kei te rōpū āhua nekeneke te taumata here o Microsoft i waenganui i ngā kamupene nui. Ko Amazon te tino mumura: mai i te 2 o Hanuere 2025, me noho ngā kaimahi katoa ki te tari i ngā rā katoa o te wiki, ā, e ai ki te Tumuaki Andy Jassy, mā tēnei ka "whakahokia te kaha o te tīma". I ahu tēnei i ngā urutau i timata i te 2024, i āraia ētahi kaimahi kia wehenga atu, engari e whakaponohia ana e Amazon ka piki te whai hua. He rite a Google me Meta ki Microsoft, e tono ana kia toru ngā rā ia wiki. Kua whakatinanahia e Google tōna kaupapa mai i te 2023, e kī ana mō ngā "rā matua mahi tahi" (rāhina ki te rāapa), ā, e whakamahi ana i ngā taputapu AI hei aroturuki noho. I whakahoutia e Meta tōna kaupapa i te Hepetema 2023, ā, kua aukati te whakatū i ngā tūranga mahi mamao hou, me te tono kia toru ngā rā i te tari; i mea a Zuckerberg he āwhina tēnei ki te hanga i te ahurea me te auahatanga. He ngāwari ake te kawenata a Apple, engari kua kaha ake i te 2024 kia noho ki te tari e toru ngā rā ia wiki, ā, i whakahuatia e Tim Cook te "whakakotahitanga i te watea me te mahi tahi". I te 2025, kua whakawhānui a Apple i te tono nei ki ngā tīma ā‑ao, ā, kua whakauru tētahi pūnaha tohu tari hei utu i te noho ki te tari.
Kua uru a Dell me IBM ki te karapu RTO. E tono ana a Dell kia whā ngā rā ia wiki, mai i te hauwhā o te tau 2025, hei whakakaha i te mahi hanganga. Ka whakamahi a IBM i te aronga 'māpere mohio', kia toru ngā rā ia wiki, me te whakamahi i ngā raraunga hei whakapai i te whakamahinga wāhi. Heoi, kei ētahi pērā i Zoom me Salesforce ka pupuri i te kaupapa 'mamao tuatahi': ka āhei a Zoom ki ngā tūranga mahi ā‑ao, ā, i te 2025 i whakawhānuihia ērā tūranga. I tīmata a Starbucks i te 9 o Hepetema 2025 kia whā ngā rā ia wiki mō ngā kaimahi umanga, i mua i te toru rā. E ai ki Statista, i te 2025, 70% o ngā kamupene hangarau i te ao kua whakahoki mai ki te RTO, he pikinga i te 55% o te 2024. He ārahi ōhanga tēnei: i kī te pūrongo a te Federal Reserve kei te āwhina te RTO i te whakaiti utu kaimahi, kia kore ai e puta ngā whakakorenga nui.
He maha ngā take e aki ana i ēnei whakarerekētanga. Tuatahi, ko te whai hua mahi tahi te pūtake: i kī te blog a Microsoft he piki te rahinga o ngā kaupapa auahatanga i raro i te mahi mamao, me te pikinga o te tuku kaupapa i te wā poto. I roto i te īmēra a Andy Jassy, i kī ia kua āwhina te noho ki te tari ki te "whakakaha i te whakawhanaketanga AI". Tuarua, ko te pēhanga rawa whare: he nui ngā haumitanga a ngā kamupene i ngā tari e kore e whakamahia, ā, mā te RTO ka taea te whakahoki i taua haumi. I whakaatu pūrongo pūtea a Google i te 2025 kua piki te whakamahinga tari i te 30% i muri i te RTO. Tuatoru, ko te ahurea me te pupuri pūkenga: e ai ki ngā pūrongo a Meta, ka kaha ake te noho piri o ngā kaimahi i te tari, engari ka puta anō ngā māharahara; i te haurua tuatahi o 2025, i piki te utu wehenga kaimahi i Amazon e 15% i muri i ngā whakarerekētanga RTO, ā, i neke ētahi ki ngā kamupene mamao‑hiranga pēnei i GitLab.
He rua‑āhua ngā urupare a ngā kaimahi. I runga i Reddit me X, kua puta ngā karanga whakahē: tētahi kaiwhakamahi i kī, "Ko te RTO he hokinga whakamuri; i whakaatu te mate urutā e taea ana te mahi mamao". I whakaatu a Business Insider kua riro te RTO hei taputapu 'tukutuku huna' hei wehe i te hunga kāore e hiahia kia hoki ki te tari. Heoi, he kaitautoko te katoa whenua: he mea whai hua te tari mō te ako ārahi me te whakawhanaunga. E ai ki te tātaritanga a Forbes, i te 2025, i piki te whai hua o ngā kamupene RTO ki te toharite e 10%, engari ko ngā wāhine me ngā mātua te hunga tino pāngia. He rerekētanga ā‑ao hoki: tērā pea ka whiwhi wheako ngā kaimahi o Europi (pērā i ngā tīma a Microsoft i Īrihi) i ngā whakaritenga watea atu i raro i ngā ture mahi a te EU.
Kua kitea te pānga ki te mākete: i te 9 o Hepetema i piki te utu kararehe o Microsoft ki te 0.5%, e tohu ana ngā kaiputake moni i te manawanui mō ngā painga whai hua. Engari kei te pā tonu te pēhanga ki ngā rawa hangarau—kua piki te utu kararehe o ētahi kamupene mamao pērā i Slack ki te 8% i taua rā. E matapae ana a Axios ka noho te aronga hybrid hei whakamaharatanga mō 90% o ngā kamupene i te mutunga o 2025, engari ka heke te wāhanga tūmatanui katoa (full‑remote) mai i te 10% ki te 5%.
Ki te titiro whakamua, ka tino mohio ake ngā kaupapa RTO. Kei te whakamahere a Microsoft ki te whakauru i te aroturuki noho mā AI, ā, kua whakamātautau a Google i ngā whakarite wāhi tari ā‑ipurangi (dynamic office allocation). E kī ana te pūrongo a Colliers ka rapu ngā kamupene i te taurite i waenga i te RTO me te watea kia kaua e ngaro ngā pūkenga. Ka taea e te mahi a Microsoft te tū hei tohu mō te rāngai, te hurihanga mai i te 'mahi mamao tuwhera' ki te 'mahi tahi e aratakina ana', engari me tiaki te oranga o ngā kaimahi. Ko te angitu o te kaupapa ka whakawhirinaki ki te whakapiki i ngā taputapu mamao ki roto i ngā tikanga RTO; mēnā ka tutuki tēnei, tērā pea ka hurihia te aronga mahi.
