From May 1, Amazon.com will allow employees to work at least three days per week in the office. The company shared the news via blog post. The decision was made at a meeting earlier this week. Note that the company sent workers home to work remotely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amazon intends to put this adjustment into action on May 1.
CEO Andy Jassy, who also stated that the change would make it simpler to learn and communicate. According to him, there would be several limitations to the norm, including the option for salesmen and customer support staff to work remotely.

As per the Amazon head, the pandemic started about three years ago, and it advised all its staff who could work from home to do so. Following that, the firm made a few updates to the guidance (second half of 2021), the most recent of which stated that Director-level leaders would determine for their teams where they would work and that we would experiment for the ensuing period of time.
Considering how long the epidemic lasted, several models—including some teams working solely from home, some teams spending all of their time in the office together, and numerous varieties of hybrid—could be seen over a significant amount of time. According to the CEO its S-team discussed whether and how to modify its strategy by listening to employees, observing how their teams performed, speaking with leaders at other organisations, and meeting on a number of occasions.
In a blog post, Amazon said that working together and coming up with ideas in person is simpler and more productive. More freely expressed energy and thoughts are riffed on. It’s simpler to learn from one another face-to-face. It’s far simpler to ask someone how to accomplish something or how they handled a certain scenario by walking a short distance to their location as opposed to Chiming or Slacking them. When teams interact in person more regularly, they tend to feel closer to one another. Therefore, this has convinced Amazon that it should return to working together most of the time (at least three days per week). The change will go into effect on May 1 according to Amazon.

“We made this decision at an s-team meeting earlier this week, and for a number of reasons (including the adjustments I know will be required for some of our employees), I wanted to share with you as early as I could even though we haven’t worked out all the execution details yet. Of course, as there were before the pandemic, there will still be certain roles (e.g. some of our salespeople, customer support, etc.) and exceptions to these expectations, but that will be a small minority. We plan to implement this change effective May 1.”
