Flight Center and Dell are ending WFH as companies send workers back to the office

Two more major companies in Australia have ended their staff’s WFH privileges, joining a growing list of employers wanting their staff back in the office.

Flight Center and Dell recently retrenched staff, with Dell giving staff only four days’ notice of the end of flexible working arrangements.

Dell’s memo was sent on September 26 and employees were expected to work in the office for five days starting September 30. Reuters reported.

Dell Technologies, which has about 1,500 Australian employees, had been operating under a three-day-a-week rule before the sudden shift to five days in the office.

Dell’s memo said the shift was intended to foster a collaborative environment and increase skillsets, which will require employees back in the office.

“Remote working should be the exception rather than routine,” the report said.
