The corporate world has been heavily debating Amazon’s recent move to send staff members five days a week back to the workplace. CEO Andy Jassy underlined that the change will promote improved creativity and teamwork, therefore addressing issues raised by workers who have appreciated flexible working schedules. While Amazon is advocating full-time office attendance, some businesses still favour hybrid approaches.
For Polish companies particularly in the growing Global Shared Services (GSS) sector, this begs some serious concerns. Recent studies, including ABSL insights, highlight how hybrid and remote work models have been crucial in luring top-notch talent in Poland and beyond Europe. Many businesses, in line with the UK government’s position of remote work as a default right, actually note higher productivity from flexible work schedules.
But when internet behemoths like Amazon make these audacious moves, will views among Polish businesses—particularly in industries like GSS, where flexibility has been a main selling point—change?
What is your take ? With more return-to- office policies, are Polish companies at danger of losing talent? Or is in-office work the secret to creativity and improved cooperation?
