Intel mandates four days in the office

Intel has announced a shift in its hybrid work policy, requiring employees to return to the office four days a week after previously allowing two days of remote work. CEO Lip-Bu Tan cited the need for enhanced collaboration and productivity as reasons for the change, noting that local leadership will tailor on-site experiences based on feedback while maintaining a culture of engagement. This move aligns with broader trends in tech companies like Amazon, Salesforce, and Apple, which are increasingly prioritizing in-office work to boost team dynamics but face mixed evidence on its impact on productivity and employee satisfaction.
