Amazon CEO doesn’t plan on asking staff to go back to the office

Andy Jassy has said Amazon isn’t rushing employees back to the office anytime soon

Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy, has said that there currently aren’t any plans to force staff back to the office after the pandemic forced us to work from home.

At the Code Confernce in Los Angeles, Jassy said “We don’t have a plan to require people to come back, but we’re going to proceed adaptively as we learn.”

It comes as the online retail giant announced last year that they would leave it up to individual managers and teams to decide how much time they spend in the office.

At the time Jassy said “there is no one-size-fits all approach for how every team works best.”

It’s a far cry from the return-to-office strategies other tech companies have adopted, with Apple already mandating a set number of days in the office.

However Jassy still describes their approach as a “work in progress,” suggesting this choose-your-own schedule may not last forever.

It follows a recent survey done by business consulting firm, Gartner. It says 69 per cent of mid to large sized employers say they still require employees to come into the office some days, despite it being possible for the job to be done from home.
