Investing.com -- HSBC is looking at implementing a global policy that would require employees to come to the office at least three days per week, as the bank aims to create a consistent approach across its global workforce.

The bank’s CEO Georges Elhedery has been in talks with executives from various business units about a potential group-wide return-to-office mandate, according to the Financial Times, citing people involved in these discussions.

Some managers at HSBC have expressed frustration about the current situation where many employees continue to work primarily from home.

The discussions about this potential new office attendance policy are still ongoing, and no final decision has been made yet, according to FT, citing a person familiar with the talks.

The consideration comes as HSBC seeks to standardize its approach to workplace attendance across its diverse global operations.
