WPP Employees Start a Petition to Avoid Return-to-Office Mandate

The WPP Return-to-Office Mandate

This week, multinational advertising company WPP announced that its more than 100,000 employees would be required to come into the office a minimum of four days per week. The news came in the form of an internal memo, which highlighted why the company is planning to make this substantial change to its policy.

“I believe that we do our best work when we are together in person. It’s easier to learn from each other, it’s a better way to mentor colleagues starting out in the industry, and it helps us win pitches as a truly integrated team.” – internal memo to WPP employees

According to the memo, the new policy will go into effect in April, which they hope will be plenty of time to address the notable “capacity requirements” that could be substantially impacted by this decision.
