The head of Disney has instructed those who currently work from home to begin coming into the office four days a week at the beginning of March.
So-called “hybrid” employees will now be expected to treat Monday through Thursday like in-person workdays, according to CEO Bob Iger. He also emphasized the need for face-to-face interaction for a creative business like Disney.
This announcement came two months after Mr. Iger’a unexpected return to the company. The company’s board of directors reinstated Mr. Iger to help it through a challenging time after its stock price crashed and the Disney+ streaming business continued to post losses.
In an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, Disney, like many other large corporations, permitted workers to work from home throughout the breakout. Disney has recently taken action to invite employees back to their workplaces, just like other significant businesses. Similar modifications to their working standards have recently been revealed by businesses including Snap, Tesla, and Uber. Since September, Apple employees have also been required to spend three days a week working at the company’s offices.
