"Employees based in Stockholm, Berlin, Warsaw, and Nykøbing, are expected to come into the office three days a week starting September 29, the company informed workers in an internal Slack post Thursday, which was seen by Business Insider. The rollout will extend to other offices shortly thereafter, per the post. Klarna's announcement comes as more Big Tech companies and startups are unveiling their return-to-office plans for workers. Dell also said in January that it was "retiring" hybrid work and told employees to be in the office five days a week from March."
"Many employees shared how much they enjoy reconnecting with colleagues, sharing ideas naturally, and working side by side, Mijatovic wrote in the message. "At the same time, we have seen some of our top talents leave for companies where in-person collaboration is a fundamental part of daily work," Mijatovic wrote. "This is a signal we cannot ignore, as our success depends on being a company where people thrive and grow together.""
Klarna will require employees in Stockholm, Berlin, Warsaw, and Nykøbing to work from the office three days a week beginning September 29, with the rollout expanding to other offices shortly after. The company tested an office week in Stockholm during the spring, and many employees reported enjoying reconnecting with colleagues, sharing ideas naturally, and working side by side. Klarna said it has seen some top talent leave for firms that prioritize in-person collaboration, and it adopted the policy in part to address talent retention concerns. The move coincides with a planned IPO and echoes similar return-to-office shifts by other large tech companies.
