Deutsche Bank Tightens Remote Work Policy, Mandates Office Presence

In a significant policy shift, Deutsche Bank orders managers to work from the office four days a week, aiming to enhance consistency and leadership presence.

Deutsche Bank announces new office attendance rules requiring managers to be in the office four days a week starting in June.
The policy also prohibits working from home on both Friday and Monday, targeting the avoidance of extended remote work weekends.
Despite the stricter rules, Deutsche Bank reaffirms its commitment to a hybrid working model, emphasizing the positive reception from staff.
The move comes amid broader industry trends of financial institutions tightening remote work policies, with competitors like Goldman Sachs and Bank of America implementing similar measures.
Deutsche Bank's decision is partly driven by the need to optimize real estate usage and ensure a more consistent presence throughout the week.
