Starbucks moving to four days in office from three

Starbucks (SBUX) CEO Brian Niccol said in a blog post, “We will shift from required three-days in office to minimum of four-days in office: Common days will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; this applies to our Seattle and Toronto Support Centers as well as North America regional offices. To give partners time to adjust, this expectation will begin with the new fiscal year. We’ll share more details before October, including our plans to ensure everyone has an assigned dedicated desk. Niccol explained, “We want leaders and people managers to be physically present with their teams. In February we asked all vp+ leaders working remotely to begin relocating to Seattle or Toronto. We are now extending this requirement to all Support Center people leaders who will be expected to be based in Seattle or Toronto within 12 months.”
