"Responding to an employee question about the RTO mandate, Filosa said he was further convinced about the benefits of in-office work by a trip to San Francisco at the start of the year, according to the transcript, the accuracy of which was confirmed to Business Insider by four other Stellantis employees. Filosa told employees that he connected with multiple software companies during the trip and saw many people working in the office."
"He singled out a visit to AI startup Applied Intuition, which partners with Stellantis to develop vehicle infotainment systems, and said he was impressed by the software company's engineers working and collaborating full-time in the office. Stellantis, which is a much larger company, should be just as focused on in-office collaboration, Filosa said, adding that he wanted employees to work together."
Stellantis will require US employees to work five days in the office starting March 30, with full-time returns outside the US scheduled by location. A trip to San Francisco and visits to multiple software companies, including AI startup Applied Intuition, reinforced the perceived benefits of in-office collaboration and observing engineers working together. The company emphasized that, despite its larger size, Stellantis should prioritize in-person collaboration similar to software and AI firms. The policy aims to increase teamwork and face-to-face interaction across brands such as Jeep, Chrysler, Ram, Fiat, and Peugeot.
