Starbucks will require all office employees to return to the office at least four days a week starting in October, up from three days. Employees opting for a buyout can receive a one-time cash payment. CEO Brian Niccol emphasizes the benefits of in-person collaboration for improving creativity and problem-solving. Additionally, corporate managers working remotely will need to relocate to Seattle or Toronto within 12 months. This policy shift reflects a broader trend among major companies reducing remote work flexibility after the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We are reestablishing our in-office culture because we do our best work when we're together. We share ideas more effectively, creatively solve hard problems, and move much faster."
"Starbucks began requiring employees to return to the office at least three days a week in 2023. Now it will also require all corporate people managers working remotely to relocate to Seattle or Toronto within 12 months."
