HSBC Holdings<\/ps-link> <\/span> <\/span> <\/span> Plc is considering telling all its employees to work from one of the bank’s offices at least three days a week, as it looks to tighten some of its flexible policies that have been in place since the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The new arrangement is under discussion and no decision has yet been made, a person familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing internal deliberations. A representative for the British lender declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The London-based bank’s return-to-office plans may, however, have to contend with a severe shortage of desk space it is set to face once it moves out of its current Canary Wharf headquarters to a new building in the City. Senior managers have been informed of a potential 7,700-desk shortfall there, Bloomberg News has reported earlier.<\/p>\n

Under the current system, HSBC<\/ps-link> has given individual managers the freedom to set their own in-office staffing rules based on their business requirements. The bank has about 211,000 full-time equivalent employees worldwide, according to its website<\/a><\/ps-link>.<\/p>\n

HSBC<\/ps-link> is among the latest global banking giants considering a gradual return-to-office mandate. It has already told its own UK-based retail banking staff to expect smaller bonuses<\/a><\/ps-link> if they fail to attend office frequently.<\/p>\n

Bigger Wall Street rivals such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. ordered staff earlier this year to return to office five days<\/a><\/ps-link> a week. Defying that trend, however, Standard Chartered Plc Chief Executive Officer Bill Winters said this week that he would maintain<\/a><\/ps-link> current flexible working arrangements as they remain “right” for his firm.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times first reported on HSBC’s<\/ps-link> deliberations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
