Back to office timeline by firm
Wondering how other firms are dealing with WFH going forward into the Fall and 2021. Blackstone has opened its office, but its not requiring employees to come back until at least Labor Day i.e. they want employees to plan to start coming back then, but it may get pushed back depending on how things shape up with the virus over the next ~6 weeks. Any other data points?
your boss wants to get back to smelling your farts STAT
Coming from banking, most banks with strong ties to NYC have pushed WFH until 2021.
like which banks? and which departments?
from what i've heard from peers and at my company, commercial lenders and all of their departments are WFH until further notice, with guidance steering towards a Q1 2021 re-entry. there may be a few folks going in 1-2x a week but it is mainly on a WFH basis.
Starting August; 50% of the juniors will be in the office with weekly rotations. Senior people have more leeway and will get in on a if-needed basis, such as dry-runs etc. Very few f2f client meetings allowed.
European country, not London.
On our end - end of the year at best - probably into 2021. Most likely won't be firm wide until mid 2021. Guess is that regional, non major cities, go back first - then the rest thereafter. Some talk around whether it will be perpetually a 50% or similar rule - so as to mitigate risk on teams as well. Who knows. My guess is we are on the extreme, conservative side of going back but it's what it is at this point.
Weekly rotations starting now but majority of employees likely not showing up until labor day (New York)
Was originally told after Labor Day but that was pushed to 2021. New York.
Frankfurt is back in the office every other week. I'm (NYC) hearing September at the earliest, although I'd go back yesterday if possible.
Yea, seems like most European cities is doing the same as Frankfurt. Not sure about London though.
have heard our Japanese and Chinese colleagues are already back in some fashion, no clue about NYC but I haven't heard a peep about the midatlantic/southeast going back at all
I don't think offices are back to full staff on site until 2021. Our own corporate policies are site-specific so far, but the one thing for all sites is that State regulation is the key driver. For argument sake - if NYC gets locked down in September and it lasts through March of next year and resets the NY Roadmap policy back to Phase 1 on reopening, that means that our return to site policy gets pushed back to probobly next June/July. Our policy is based on where in the reopening process NYC is. We didn't look at reopening the work site until NYC was in well into Phase 3, and that was just for folks in Manhattan and limited to about 200 people per day. The next step is 30%, then 50%, then full staffing, based on guidelines, etc. At 30% and 50%, there's a rotational component that needs to be addressed so there aren't people overlapping and being within 6 feet of each other, etc. We also have a lot of flexibility becuase my company wants to avoid people commuting until there is a much better handle on things where at all possible.
