Amazon has officially announced the end of their full-time work-from-home policy for corporate employees, according to an announcement from CEO Andy Jassy Friday morning.
Employees will soon be required to spend at least three days a week working from the office, according to a memo from Jassy shared with Amazon employees.
According to Jassy, working remotely full-time had impacted company culture and made it harder to collaborate on important innovations.
Its easier to learn, model, practice, and strengthen our culture when were in the office together most of the time and surrounded by our colleagues, Jassy wrote. Its especially true for new people (and weve hired a lot of people in the pandemic); but its also true for people of all tenures at Amazon. When youre in-person, people tend to be more engaged, observant, and attuned to whats happening in the meetings and the cultural clues being communicated.
