TD Bank calls staff back to office four days a week starting this fall, memo says

July 23 (Reuters) - TD Bank TD.TO has asked employees to work from office four days a week starting this fall, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

Executive-level staff at the bank will be required to work from the office at least four days a week starting October 6, while non-executive employees are expected to follow suit by November 3, said the memo from TD Bank Group's Chief Human Resources Officer Melanie Burns.

"Many locations will be ready to accommodate this change by November 3," Burns said in the memo.

After several years of supporting flexible work models following the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies are now encouraging employees to return to the office, arguing improved in-person collaboration as a key benefit.

In recent months, peers such as the Bank of Montreal BMO.TO and the Royal Bank of Canada RY.TO have made similar steps.
