Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced that corporate staff will be required to return to the office five days a week starting in January. This move reverses the company's previous policy of three days a week in-office work, citing the benefits of collaboration and team culture.
Amazon is asking corporate staff to return to the office five days a week from January, chief executive Andy Jassy said, and plans to reduce its layers of management.
“When we look back over the last five years, we continue to believe that the advantages of being together in the office are significant,” he said in a note to workers. “We’ve observed that it’s easier for our team-mates to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture; collaborating, brainstorming, and inventing are simpler and more effective; teaching and learning from one another are more seamless; and, teams tend to be better connected to one another.
“Before the pandemic, it was not a given that folks could work remotely two days a week, and that will also be true moving forward,” he said. The company is also seeking to remove unnecessary layers of management, and has asked teams within the organisation to increase the ratio of individual contributors to managers by at least 15 per cent by the end of the first quarter in 2025.
