According to reports, Dell Technologies has ordered the staff to return to the office. The company is trying to change the hybrid work policy.
In a memo acquired by Business Insider, CEO’s Michael Dell has fully notified employees on March 3 that the company has “abolished the hybrid policy.”
“We are finding that there is nothing faster in all of the world’s technology,” he wrote and said, “The 30 -second conversation is continuing e -mail. I even said that I could exchange.
Dell staff is expected to be in a specific office five days a week. However, new policies include exceptions for staff walking on a long road from the office, and are expected to be followed by less than an hour.
However, according to the internal FAQ seen by Business Insider, these workers are not qualified to be promoted throughout the company’s annual salary plan process without the approval of the company’s SVP, ELT, and COO.
The policy was completely contrasting with a statement about Linkedin in 2022, and DELL defended the company’s continuous remote working policy.
“From my experience, if you spend a collaboration in a conventional office and rely on the forced time to provide a sense of belonging to the organization, you are wrong.” I said at that time.
But even before this movement, the company had already returned more workers to the office, and Dell’s latest notes claimed that this had positive results.
“We have already asked the sales team, manufacturing team, lab engineers, on -site team members, and leaders in the office five days a week. He wrote.
“Now, we want to see the same emergency feeling and drive anywhere.”
RTO Mandate has acquired traction
Other major high -tech companies are returning their staff to the office. For example, this month, Amazon corporate employees are expected to return five days a week.
At & T and JP Morgan do the same, but Salesforce, Apple, and Disney have all closed the hybrid work policy.
In 2024, the RTO Mandate topic was a repetition for large -scale high -tech companies, and many companies experienced pushback from staff.
In particular, Dell’s staff opposed the changing remote and hybrid work policy, indicating that the internal voting in the company has reduced morale in confusion.
However, the technology industry is in a sustained shortage of human resources, and there is evidence that the expectation that the staff will come to the office every day may worsen the situation.
A recent study published at Nature revealed that the manager hoped that productivity was a hybrid model, but the opposite was found to be true. Both productivity and promotion rate were not adversely affected when the staff worked at home two days a week.
