RTO | Barclays tightens office attendance rules amid ongoing WFH debate

Barclays is clamping down on working from home by increasing the number of days that staff must come into the office.

The banking behemoth sent a memo to many of its 85,000 employees, informing them that they are now expected to attend their office for a minimum of three days of week. The limit was previously two days per week. 

Some Barclays workers are already required to be in the office for a full five days per week - including investment bankers, client/customer-facing teams and certain office roles.

A Barclays spokesperson said: "We recognise the benefits of balancing flexibility for colleagues with the importance of working together to collaborate in our physical locations.
