JPMorgan Chase & Co. has told UK-based staff that more of them will return to office working starting next month as the country begins to wind down Covid-related restrictions.
The American bank said in a memo that more workers would come to its London and Bournemouth sites from June 21. The offices will operate at a maximum of 50% of their capacity, with all workers gradually moving to a “consistent schedule†of home- and office-working, according to a memo, which was first reported by
Financial News.
A vaccination is not required in order to return to the office at this time, the bank said in the memo. More than two thirds of all adults in the U.K. have received at least one dose of a vaccine.
Last month, JPMorgan said all employees in the U.S. would be in the office on rotation by early July. It follows Wall Street rival Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which has said U.S. staff should be prepared by June 14 to work from offices again, while those in the U.K. should be ready June 21, according to an internal memo reported by Bloomberg earlier this month.
