The company confirmed its workers would be required to attend the office five days per week beginning March 2025 (via The Guardian). The change is one being reflected across all industries globally as companies, workers and experts struggle to ascertain what the most effective working routine is.

In the years that followed the pandemic, more and more workers have been forced back into the office, with the tech sector driving the widely adopted three-day policy. More recently, companies have been rolling out full-scale return-to-office policies, and JPMorgan Chase is the latest.

The news follows similar moves made by Dell and Amazon, with Amazon CEO Andy Jassy claiming in-person working creates a more collaborative and productive environment. Although the change to full-time office working is a big shift, more than half of JPMorgan Chase’s workers were already adhering to such principles. Last week’s announcement just brings the rest of the workers in line.

CEO Jamie Dimon acknowledged that many workers prefer hybrid schedules and that not all workers would agree with the change. Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed!.
