"CEO Ted Decker said the company made this decision to speed up its operations. "To extend our industry-leading position, we must position the company to move faster and stay even more closely connected to our customers and frontline associates. "We're simplifying our corporate operations to better support our stores and our customers. "In-person engagement enables more meaningful support for store and field associates, drives results and reinforces our people-centric culture and inverted pyramid.""
"The hardware company has ordered corporate workers to return to the office five days a week, no longer allowing them to work from home. The Home Depot will begin the policy on April 6, so employees may have to come in even if they cannot or might face travel delays. Working from home became widespread during the pandemic, when people had no other choice. While many companies have switched to a hybrid system, The Home Depot is scrapping it."
The Home Depot is ending remote and hybrid work for corporate staff and requires a five-day, in-office schedule starting April 6. The policy mandates attendance even if employees cannot or might face travel delays. Approximately 800 workers will be laid off, including 150 at the Atlanta headquarters; many affected workers are current remote employees losing that status. CEO Ted Decker framed the move as a step to speed operations, increase connection with customers and frontline associates, and simplify corporate operations. Affected employees will receive severance, job support, and transitional benefits; layoff timing remains unknown.
