SD1 nailed it. This isn’t the time to share your opinion, because it won’t help the situation. Stick to facts and provide an empathetic ear.
My other note on this - know that when you tell folks about the impending change you’ll get an eruption of emotional responses. That’s natural. I recommend giving your team a window of time (no more than a few days) to complain/grouse/vent about the new policy, then after that time start turning the conversation to looking for constructive suggestions to make the new policy more palatable for the team.
Remind them that the RTO policy is set above your pay grade but that finding creative ways to adapt is not, and provide a few sample suggestions you’d be ok doing for your team. Then listen with empathy, and do your best to incorporate a few of the suggestions into the way your team works moving into the future.
Explain leadership's reasoning for the change without offering your own opinion. It is hard to hold a team to a policy they know you don't believe in, but that will be your responsibility, so don't make it worse. Listen and if you can address certain concerns, try your best to do it. Give feedback to the people directly above you if your team hates it but that's about all you can do without undermining your own responsibility.
If it's your job to enforce it, you just enforce it. There doesn't seem to be any way to cut corners, a person is either in the building or they are not. I can't imagine you'd want to be in the position of lying about someone's whereabouts. This contagion of RTO mandates was probably always inevitable. People may complain about it, but the only recourse seems to be to leave. And with more and more companies doing the same thing, there wouldn't be that many places to flee to.
Here for the answers because I’m in the exact same boat. 🫠
This is probably not what the company would advise, but I would just level with them: I agree with you this isn't great, but we still have to do it, so let's work together to get the maximum benefit and minimum pain out of it. What would make this work better for you? And then advocate up the chain for whatever that is. Even if you don't get it, them knowing you tried will help.
