CNN reportedIt is said that Zoom is now requiring employees to return to the office to work, and those who are closer to the company must work in the office at least two days a week.
Compared to the severe period of the epidemic, when Zoom vigorously promoted remote working, it seems a bit ironic that it is now asking employees to return to the office to work.
Companies that previously promoted remote work, such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Salesforce, have also begunEmployees are gradually asked to return to the office to work, and even proposed that at least 3 days a week should be spent in the office, and the remaining 2 days can be adjusted according to employee needs, or employees canFriendly priceStaying in hotels near offices as a transitional measure to a full return to office work highlights that most companies still want their employees to return to their normal work patterns.
However, like some companies, Zoom does not deny the convenience of remote work, but also emphasizes the importance of employees returning to the office to work. Therefore, it adopts a structured hybrid model, allowing employees who live closer to the company to return to the office to work at least 2 days a week, and employees who live farther away can work remotely through video conferencing depending on the situation, but eventually it will probably shift to returning to the office as the main work model.
Although many research statistics show that remote working allows employees to handle work matters more efficiently, not all work can be done remotely. In particular, some discussions and decisions are easier to communicate face-to-face. Therefore, many businesses have begun to require employees to return to work in the office after the epidemic has eased. However, many businesses still retain the flexibility of remote work to strike a balance between work progress and employee needs.
