Microsoft is considering a revision of its flexible work guidelines, possibly requiring employees to work in-person three days a week starting in January. Although no final decisions have been made, the current policy provides a 'no one size fits all' approach to hybrid work, with roles categorized into fully in-person, partially in-person, or fully remote. The trend toward stricter in-office requirements is mirrored by rivals like Amazon, which has mandated in-person work for some roles. The potential policy shift could change the landscape for remote workers returning to a more contracted workplace post-pandemic.
Microsoft is looking to refresh its flexible work guidelines with a potential new policy that could require employees to work in-person three days a week starting January.
Currently, Microsoft's approach to hybrid work allows for varying degrees of in-person requirements, with roles designated as fully remote, partly remote, or entirely in-person.
The company has urged employees to return to the office by tracking attendance and suggesting they may lose permanent desks if they do not comply.
If Microsoft changes its policy, remote workers may find a drastically changed company environment as the tech industry strengthens its in-person work policies.
