Zarah ChoudharyBarclays is moving to a minimum of three days in the office across the group, though existing requirements vary across different parts of the bank.
The bank’s minimum time in office requirements differ between business areas, based on the nature of work and business needs.
Some teams, such as front-office and client-facing roles within the investment bank, have already been coming into the office five days a week and will not be affected.
Branch colleagues, who have always worked in person, will also see no change.
For the majority of employees impacted by the announcement, the shift will mean an increase of one day per week in office attendance.
However, Barclays noted that due to the diversity of its business, a single approach does not apply across the entire organisation.
A spokesperson from Barclays said: “At Barclays, we recognise the benefits of balancing flexibility for colleagues with the importance of working together to collaborate in our physical locations.
“Our minimum time in office requirements vary between business areas depending on the nature of work and needs of the business.”
