General Motors is the latest company to tell its workers to return to the office. The automaker is asking employees to come in three days a week.
The pandemic has forced many companies to let their workers work from home, but now some are saying it’s time to go back.
GM is just the latest company to announce a return to the office. IBM, Facebook and Goldman Sachs have all made similar announcements in recent weeks.
GM says the move will allow for more collaboration and brainstorming. The company has been offering voluntary return-to-office programs since June, but this is the first time it’s mandatory.
Returning to work comes with some risks, but GM says it has taken steps to make its offices safe.
The company has installed plexiglass partitions, increased cleaning and requires employees to wear masks.
