Starbucks calls remote workers back into the office
Starbucks wants some distant workers to return to their headquarters and increase the number of days to work in an office.
In a letter to employees published on Monday, Starbucks President and CEO Brian Niccol said that corporate employees should be in the office for four days a week from the beginning of October instead of three days a week.
The Seattle -based company said that all corporate “human leaders” should be in Seattle or Toronto within 12 months.
This is a change from February, when the vice president requires the move to Seattle or Toronto.
Starbucks said that individual employees working under these leaders will not be requested to move.
However, the company said that all recruitment for future roles and subsidiaries will require employees to be present in Seattle or Toronto.
Niccol, “We re -establish our in -office culture because we do our best job when we are together. We share ideas more effectively, we solve the difficult problems in a creative way and we move much faster,” he wrote.
Niccol said that the affected workers who chose not to change will be suitable for a one -time voluntary exit program with cash payment.
While many workers enjoy working from home during their pandem, workers’ call to return to full -time offices were growing last year.
Great US employers such as Amazon, AT & T and Federal Government asked employees to work on office sites for five days a week.
Competition is severe for completely distant jobs.
Starbucks spokesman Lori Torgerson said that there are not many employees who are currently working as “human leaders or working from afar.
Starbucks has 16,000 corporate support workers worldwide, but there are coffee scorching and warehouse staff.
Niccol did not need to move to Seattle when he was hired to lead Starbucks last August.
Instead, the company, Newport Beach, said he would help him start an office near his house in California, and he would use a corporate jet to go to Seattle.
Since then, Niccol bought a house in Seattle and said it was often seen on the company’s headquarters.
