Facebook owner Meta's (NASDAQ:META) return-to-office mandate for its employees went into effect on Tuesday, according to a CNBC report, which requires staff to work from the company's physical locations at least three days a week.
The rule applies to all employees who have been assigned an office, but will not affect Meta's (META) remote workers.
"In the near-term, our in-person focus is designed to support a strong, valuable experience for our people who have chosen to work from the office, and we're being thoughtful and intentional about where we invest in remote work," said a Meta (META) spokesperson.
Employees unable to meet the three-day mandate for any reason must get an exception from their managers, the New York Post reported. Managers will review employee attendance records on a monthly basis as Meta (META) had warned that staff not adhering to the mandate would risk termination.
Many companies have been calling on employees to return to physical offices at least three days a week, including Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL).
In March, Meta (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company's internal analysis showed that "engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely."
"Our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively," he added.
