NatWest orders 13,000 staff back to their desks two days a week
NatWest will require about 13,000 employees to work on-site at least two days per week starting Feb 2027, ending its remote-first arrangement. The decision sparked anger from the staff union, which says the move undermines flexible working. NatWest says the hybrid model supports collaboration and client service. The policy shift affects thousands across the bank.
