"Financial Giants Tighten Return-to-Office Mandates for Hybrid Workers"

Fidelity Investments and Deutsche Bank are implementing specific return-to-office mandates, with Fidelity requiring most US employees to be in the office two full weeks out of every four starting in September, and Deutsche Bank mandating managing directors to come in four days a week and other staff members at least three, with a ban on working from home on a Friday followed by a Monday.

Generational Divide: Why Return-to-Office Mandates Resonate More with Gen Z and Boomers than Millennials

A generational divide has emerged regarding the ideal work arrangement as companies navigate the return-to-office debate. Gen Zers and boomers are more inclined to work in the office, while millennials value the flexibility of working from home. Factors such as raising children and long commutes influence millennials' preference for remote work, while younger workers prioritize professional networking and in-person interactions. Older workers may prefer the office for socializing and lack childcare responsibilities. The return-to-office debate requires nuance, as what is positive for one group may be negative for another. Preferences for remote work are higher among those with children, and this demographic tends to work from home more frequently.
