Amazon's 5-Day Office Mandate Sparks Debate on Remote Work
CEO Andy Jassy's return-to-office order faces criticism from employees and experts, raising questions about its impact on innovation and talent retention.
- Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced that corporate employees must return to the office five days a week starting January 2025.
- Experts warn that strict return-to-office (RTO) policies may lead to employee attrition and make it harder to attract new talent.
- Studies indicate no clear link between RTO mandates and improved company performance or innovation.
- Amazon's RTO policy contrasts with the trend among some CEOs who still see value in hybrid work setups.
- Concerns are raised about the potential negative impact on diversity, as remote work options have historically benefited women and underrepresented groups.
