Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) is reportedly planning to require certain groups of employees to work in the office four days a week, starting in September.
“We know having our teams working together in-person has many benefits…and we are already seeing the positive impact this is having across the bank as we focus on executing on our strategy,” Clancy Zeifman, a spokesperson for the bank, told The Globe and Mail in an email.
“We will continue to build on this impact as we bring our teams onsite more often, with the goal of reaching four days onsite across the bank over time.”
In cases where staff are restricted by limited real estate, Scotiabank plans to gradually increase their in-office days once more space becomes available.
