Bank of Ireland says bonuses on the line for staff who miss work-from-office days

"Meeting the minimum in-person attendance set out in our hybrid policy will now be part of how we assess performance. Unfortunately, it is clear that not enough of us are meeting the minimum requirements set more than six months ago."

"Swipe-in data will be reported on a monthly basis to line managers, showing the number of days each month worked in an office. Meeting the minimum in-person attendance will now be part of how the bank assesses individuals' performance."

"Failure to meet the minimum in-office work requirement may trigger disciplinary proceedings. BOI remains committed to sensible day to day flexibility, which will continue to be agreed between colleague and manager."

Bank of Ireland's chief people officer announced a stricter approach to hybrid work monitoring. Minimum in-person attendance will now factor into performance assessments. Employees are required to work in the office two days a week or eight days a month. Monthly reports on office attendance will be provided to managers. Failure to meet these requirements may lead to disciplinary actions. The bank emphasizes flexibility while maintaining its commitment to hybrid work arrangements, which include options for working from various hubs.
