Remote Work Policy Reversed As Zoom Orders Staff Back To Office
Zoom, the company that made remote work possible for many people during the pandemic, is now asking its employees to return to the office.
The company announced the new policy in a statement on Monday, saying it believes a “structured hybrid approach” is most effective.
“We believe that a structured hybrid approach — meaning employees that live near an office need to be onsite two days a week to interact with their teams — is most effective for Zoom,” the statement reads.
“As a company, we are in a better position to use our own technologies, continue to innovate, and support our global customers.
“We’ll continue to leverage the entire Zoom platform to keep our employees and dispersed teams connected and working efficiently.”
Zoom’s decision is a significant departure from its previous policy, which allowed employees to work remotely full-time
The new policy will go into effect in September for employees who live within 50 miles of a Zoom office.
