Dell risks employee retention by forcing all teams back into offices full-time

Dell is calling much of its workforce back into the office five days a week starting on March 3. The technology giant is framing the mandate as a business strategy, but there's reason to believe the policy may drive employee turnover.
Business Insider detailed an internal memo today from CEO and Chairman Michael Dell informing workers that if they live within an hour of a Dell office, they'll have to go in five days a week.
"What we're finding is that for all the technology in the world, nothing is faster than the speed of human interaction," Dell wrote, per Business Insider. "A thirty-second conversation can replace an email back-and-forth that goes on for hours or even days."
