JD Sports has announced that all head office employees, including those based around the world, will be required to return to the office at least four days a week starting from July 1. The new policy will primarily impact the UK head office in Bury. However, the company will still allow for a flexible approach depending on individual roles and responsibilities. JD Sports believes that this move will provide employees with more opportunities for personal development, collaboration, and teamwork. This decision follows similar changes made by other companies such as Boots, THG, and Amazon, who have also revised their flexible working policies in recent months.
