JPMorgan Chase has announced a return to the office policy, requiring all staff on hybrid schedules to work five days a week starting March.
The decision marks a significant shift as major employers seek to end the prolonged period of remote work initiated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
JPMorgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, has consistently advocated for returning to pre-pandemic working habits, emphasizing the benefits of in-person collaboration.
An internal memo acknowledged that while many employees prefer hybrid schedules, the company believes full-time office work is crucial for operations.
This move follows similar decisions from other firms, including Amazon, reflecting a trend among top employers to re-establish traditional office environments.
