Starbucks is mandating corporate employees to work from the office four days weekly beginning early October, increasing from three days. Corporate 'people leaders' must relocate to Seattle or Toronto within 12 months. While individual employees under these leaders will remain unaffected by relocation demands, all future hiring and lateral moves will require presence in these cities. Those not choosing to relocate can opt for a one-time voluntary exit program with cash payment. This policy shift aligns with the trend of major employers requiring a return to in-office work.
Starbucks Chairman and CEO Brian Niccol announced that corporate employees need to return to the office four days a week, starting in early October, changing from three days.
All corporate 'people leaders' must be based in Seattle or Toronto within 12 months, while individual employees under their leadership cannot be asked to relocate.
Niccol emphasized the importance of in-office culture by stating, 'We do our best work when we're together. We share ideas more effectively, creatively solve hard problems, and move much faster.'
Affected workers who choose not to relocate will be eligible for a voluntary exit program with a cash payment as Starbucks adjusts its work-from-home policies.
