Written By Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. has recently announced that it will require its corporate staff to work on-site four days a week. This move comes as the company tightens its return-to-office rules, following in the footsteps of other large companies. According to a person familiar with the matter, Chief Executive Officer Brian Niccol announced the change in late May.
The Newport Beach, California-based company had previously required corporate workers to go into the office three days a week. However, with the pandemic situation improving and vaccination rates increasing, the company has decided to increase the number of days that employees are required to be on-site.
This move by Chipotle is part of a larger trend among companies as they navigate the post-pandemic work environment. Many companies are reevaluating their remote work policies and are looking to bring employees back into the office. While some employees may welcome the return to the office, others may be hesitant to give up the flexibility and convenience of remote work.
It remains to be seen how this move will be received by Chipotle’s corporate staff. However, the company has stated that it is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for its employees. As the pandemic situation continues to evolve, it is likely that we will see more companies making similar changes to their return-to-office policies.
