WPP has introduced a policy encouraging its employees to return to the office by requiring them to work in-office at least two Fridays a month, starting April. This decision comes as part of a broader strategy to bolster in-person collaboration, inspiring some discomfort among employees, evident in an online petition against the new rules. The perks, including free lunches on Fridays, aim to ease the transition, although there are concerns about office capacity. Notably, rival companies are adopting different approaches to remote work, indicating a shift in workplace strategies across major firms.
From April, WPP's team of 108,000 is expected to be in the office at least four days a week, facing employee pushback and petitions against new policies.
The chief executive expressed that agencies perform best in person, while disciplinary actions are threatened for those violating the new office attendance rules.
