The Great Return: Companies Are Calling Their Workers Back to the Office as COVID-19 Fades – By Tim Smart (US News) / March 4, 2022
Businesses are showing flexibility in bringing employees back to the office as they deal with an extraordinarily tight job market.
After grappling with the Great Resignation and the Great Retirement, the workplace is now facing the Great Return.
Led by the giants of the financial services and technology industries, companies are calling their employees back to the office as the second anniversary of the coronavirus pandemic nears.
Citigroup, BNY Mellon, Google and Twitter are just some of the big names that have told employees to plan for working in their offices this month, with many offering hybrid options such as a couple of days in the office and a couple of days remote work.
“It’s been almost two years since we closed our offices and travel, and I’m excited to announce that we’re ready to fully open up business travel and all our offices around the world!” Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal told employees on Wednesday. “Business travel is back effective immediately, and office openings will start on March 15.”
