Dell Technologies has demanded an employee who lives within an hour from the DELL office to return to the office five days a week. The company announced on January 31 that it would change e -mail from CEO Michael Dell, and was set on March 3 so that a new policy would come into effect.
Dell has provided flexible hybrid work options to employees for many years, but in early 2024, the company began strengthening policies. Remote employees have been notified that their promotional qualifications will be lost in May 2024. Hybrid workers also needed to be in the office for at least 39 days or three days a week.
DELL’s new approach means that most remote workers, who are living far away from the office, can hold their position but are not considered. All new recruiters are expected to work from Dell’s office, not remote. This change is said to be part of Dell’s continuous initiatives to promote innovation and market leadership through an increase in face -to -face collaboration.
This shift is a major change in one year, such as the reorganization of artificial intelligence (AI) and the re -off round. In 2023, the company fired 13,000 employees, and in August 2024, Dell’s sales team was the first group to be asked to return to the office five days a week.
This news caused a mixture reaction, especially among workers in the Austin region. Some employees have expressed their dissatisfaction with their daily commuting, but other employees consider them as a strategy that makes it easier for companies that provide remote work to hire human resources. Some skeptics also suggest that the promotion of returning to the office could force employees to resign, and Dell is officially reducing the number of employees without dismissing workers. can.
