Wall Street Banks Enforce Full-Time Office Return for Select Staff

Citigroup, Barclays, and HSBC mandate in-office work due to upcoming regulatory changes, impacting hundreds of employees.

Citigroup requires 600 US employees to return to the office full-time, though most staff remain on hybrid schedules.
Barclays mandates global investment banking staff to work from the office or travel for client meetings starting June 1.
HSBC's policy changes affect 530 New York employees, but the bank aims to maintain some hybrid options.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's new rules are prompting these changes, despite its claim of offering greater flexibility.
Major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have already enforced similar full-time office policies.
