Since the Covid pandemic, there has been a rise in flexible working, with many workers spending one or more days working from home.
However, some high-profile companies are reversing this trend by returning to pre-pandemic working conditions. For instance, Amazon is mandating that employees work in Amazon offices five days a week. The JP Morgan Bank CEO Jamie Dimon is a critic of remote working and encourages staff to work in the office. The bank is rumoured to soon call all its workers back to the office.
Though many companies are considering abolishing or restructuring remote working, there is not widespread support for the end of remote working. There is opposition to return to the office policies by workers in many industries, particularly among parents, caregivers, and disabled staff who highly value flexible working patterns.
A key issue with calling all workers back to the office is the availability of office space. If the company has expanded its remote workforce, there may not be enough desk space if they all have to stop remote working. The solution for some organisations is to relocate to larger offices.
A benefit of moving to larger premises is that better facilities can be added. Games rooms, refreshment areas and staff gyms can make working in the office more appealing. This may in turn improve staff retention and the recruitment of talented employees.
