Wells Fargo
The San Francisco-based firm pushed back when staffers who have been working remotely would return to the office. Originally that date was Sept. 7, but the phased-in return is now set to begin Oct. 4 as Wells Fargo & Co. grapples with the delta variant’s spread. All employees currently working in offices are required to wear masks regardless of their vaccination status. Shots aren’t required for Wells Fargo employees, but are encouraged.
Citigroup
The bank this month told employees in the New York area as well as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, D.C., that they’ll need to get vaccinated before they return to the office. Citigroup Inc. expects staff in those locations to begin coming in at least two days a week starting Sept. 13. The lender also reinstated a policy that office workers must wear masks when they’re not at their desks or eating in the cafeteria. “These are our plans as of today, and I assure you if the facts change, we will too,” Sara Wechter, head of the bank’s human resources arm, said in an Aug. 10 LinkedIn post.
