Some big banks ask more staff to return to office five days a week, Bloomberg reports
May 24, 2024 4:42 AM

May 24 (Reuters) - Citigroup ( C/PN ), HSBC Holdings ( HSBC )

and Barclays ( JJCTF ) are ordering more staffers to

report to company offices five days a week, Bloomberg News

reported late on Thursday.

Citi has asked about 600 U.S. employees, who were earlier

eligible to work remotely, to commute to company offices

full-time, the report said, citing a statement from the lender.

The majority of Citi's staff can continue their hybrid

schedules, working up to two days a week outside the office, it

said.

London-based Barclays ( JJCTF ) mandated that thousands of its global

investment banking staff must work in the office or travel to

meet clients five days a week starting June 1, the Bloomberg

report said.

Meanwhile, HSBC ( HSBC ) is talking to almost half of its

workforce in New York, around 530 employees, about shifting

regulations, the report said, citing an interview with the

bank's head of human resources for the U.S. and Americas.

The firm is trying to let as many people as possible retain

the option of logging in from home if they would like to, the

report added.

Citi, HSBC ( HSBC ) and Barclays ( JJCTF ) did not immediately respond to

Reuters' requests for comment.
