What banks are doing about workers returning to the office
Briefly

The trend of remote work, which thrived during the pandemic, is being actively reversed by banks as they push employees back to the office. By 2024, 73% of financial service firms were partaking in a hybrid work model, but recent actions by major players like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs indicate a decisive shift toward in-office work. The varying policies of different banks reflect individual corporate cultures, indicating a complex and often inconsistent return-to-office approach that continues to evolve.
Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, more lenders have called their workers back to the office. The shift has marked a major reversal, coming after several years in which remote or hybrid work was widespread.
There's been a gradual movement back, because I think the pendulum probably swung too far,
By 2024, 73% of financial service firms were operating on an at least partly work-from-home basis.
Other banks have taken less maximalist approaches, but only a few still allow their workers to work from home most weekdays.
