Davis Polk Implements 4-Day Office Work-Week Policy.
Davis Polk has adopted a mandatory four-day office policy, following Skadden's lead, starting from Labor Day. The firm believes that in-office attendance is critical for professional development opportunities, including mentorship, training, and creating meaningful relationships. The firm will also introduce an annual remote day "bank" policy, allowing 16 remote workdays per year. The decision to adopt a four-day policy is not a surprise, as the firm had previously signaled its waning faith in its existing office policy.
