Dell asks global sales team to work five days a week in office, memo says
By Jaspreet Singh
Sept 26 (Reuters) -Dell Technologies DELL.N said on Thursday that their global sales team employees who are able to work from the company offices must do so five days a week, starting Sept. 30, according to a memo seen by Reuters.
The change is to leverage collaborative environment and "grow skills", which requires the team to be in the office, the memo said. "Working remotely should be the exception rather than the routine," it added.
The field representatives from the sales teamare expected to spend five days a week with customers and partners, or in the office. The team was previously required to work from the office for three days per week, according to the memo.
"Remote sales team members who can't go into a Dell office should continue to work remotely," Dell added.
The company also mentioned that it will provide more information related to remote workers in the coming weeks.
Since the pandemic, many companies have permitted employees to work from home. Some tech firms, however, now want employees to return to the office for two to three days each week.
Last week, e-commerce giant Amazon.com AMZN.O said it would require employees to return to working at company offices five days per week, beginning next year, toughening a prior three-day mandate.
