International agency tells U.S. employees to return to office three days a week
More agencies are returning to in-person several days a week, if not the full week, reports Agency Spy. Publicis is the latest to ask its employees to return to the office, starting after Labor Day, for all U.S. marketing services employees, adds Agency Spy. MSL, part of the Paris-based agency, has an office in Arlington, VA.
A memo and email obtained by Adweek states that all employees must establish time in the office three days a week, which includes traveling for business and meeting on client sites, and there will be consequences for those who don’t comply.
“Failure to meet the 3 day/week in-office expectation post Labor Day may impact performance outcomes, including salary increases, bonus payouts and/or promotion opportunities,” said the email.
In addition, the memo states that Publicis believes “our collective commitment is needed to build a hybrid future where employees are growing, engaged, and delivering the best for our clients. Any exceptions need to be reviewed by our Talent Partners and senior leadership.”
