Royal Bank of Canada new return-to-office policy: 4 days in, 1 day remote starting September

Royal Bank of Canada will require hybrid employees to work from the office four days a week starting September 2025, emphasizing in-person collaboration. This decision, announced alongside second-quarter earnings that fell short of expectations, has raised concerns among staff regarding commuting and costs. RBC's move aligns with similar actions by other major banks seeking to strengthen teamwork.
