UPS ends remote work for non-operations staff

GEORGIA, UNITED STATES — United Parcel Service (UPS), a renowned global shipping company, has declared that most of its non-operations workforce will be required to work from the office five days per week starting Monday, March 4.
This significant policy marks a shift from the remote working arrangements that have been in place.
The company’s decision aims to “recognize the ongoing commitment of operators and other UPSers who have and continue to work in-person in their facilities five days and sometimes more per week.”
The memo also emphasized the importance of in-person collaboration to UPS’s culture and customer relationships.
The return-to-office mandate applies to the company’s Atlanta headquarters and all its offices globally.
UPS, which operates in over 200 countries and territories, is known for its comprehensive package delivery and logistics services. With 2022 revenues reaching $100.3 billion and over 500,000 employees worldwide, UPS ships an estimated 24.3 million packages daily.
Many Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) foresee a full return to office by 2026, according to a KPMG survey, but Scoop Technologies predicts that executives will admit RTO mandates have failed to improve productivity.
Meanwhile, 80% of Checkr’s survey respondents agreed it’s easier to monitor employees in the office.
