Deloitte US has asked its employees in India to return to the office at least two days a week. In an effort to tighten its remote work policy, the company has warned that those who fail to comply with the mandate may face a negative performance review.
Starting on October 1, 2025, Deloitte employees will be required to work from the office at least two days a week, according to an internal memo reportedly seen by Bloomberg News. The rule is applicable across the company’s seven offices in South Asia, which help clients or provide back-office support.
Due to space constraints, the alleged memo states that employees may need to come to the office according to a schedule. Those who fail to comply with the new work policy will be tracked, and their non-compliance will be taken into account during performance evaluations.
As per a statement from a Deloitte spokesperson, the new hybrid work policy is “not one-size-fits-all.” The spokesperson added that the new approach is “designed for clients, businesses, team leaders and professionals to co-locate when it matters most to the performance of our work and the development and well-being of our professionals.”
With this new policy, Deloitte is following the footsteps of companies like PwC, which tightened its remote work policy in the UK a year ago.
