US EditionStarbucks Takes Aim at Remote Work, Says some Employees May Need to Relocate to Headquarters
ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 13 – Starbucks and major firms mandate more in-office days to strengthen collaboration and culture as 83% of Canadian CEOs plan full-time office returns within three years, a KPMG survey found.
- Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced that beginning early October, employees at the Seattle headquarters and other locations will be required to work on-site four days per week.
- This move builds on February’s decision requiring vice presidents and future hires to relocate to Seattle or Toronto, reflecting a shift toward in-office culture.
- Niccol emphasized that workers share ideas more effectively and solve problems creatively when together, framing the change as part of a significant company turnaround.
- Starbucks has 16,000 corporate employees worldwide and is offering a one-time voluntary exit with cash to those unwilling to relocate or return to more days onsite.
- The policy aligns with a broader corporate trend of ending remote work, seen also at companies like Amazon and Google, as Starbucks seeks to improve operations and sales.
