Bank of Nova Scotia will allow workers to come back to the majority of its Canadian offices on a voluntary basis on March 14, with a 10-week, phased return starting on April 11.
Most employees will return on a hybrid basis, with different groups deciding which activities to conduct remotely or in person, according to an emailed statement from Barb Mason, chief human resources officer at the Toronto-based bank.
“We believe that by combining the best aspects of the physical and virtual workplaces, we will have a more collaborative workplace culture that allows us to better deliver for our customers while retaining and attracting top talent,†Mason said.
