Microsoft、週3日のオフィス出社を必須化

Microsoftは9日(米国時間)、原則「週3日のオフィス勤務」を必須とする方針発表した。「対面での共同作業が増えるほど、従業員活気づき能力発揮し、より優れ成果生み出す」としている。

米国では、ワシントン州の本社があるPuget Sound地域から開始し、オフィスから80km居住する場合は、2026年2月までに週3日の出社勤務求められる。必要に応じて、9月19日までに例外措置申請できる。

次いで米国拠点でも週3勤務とし、スケジュールは近日中に発表予定。米国外の従業員については、2026年に計画を開始するという。

同社では、「AI時代において、我々かつてない速さ進み人々の生活や働き方組織運営を変える技術を構築している。我々の歴史を振り返れば、最も意義深いブレークスルーは、互いのアイデアをリアルタイムで共有し、築き上げた時に起こっている」とし、対面での共同作業重要性強調。「時代を定義するAI製品構築するには、賢い人材並べ困難課題取り組むことで生まれるエネルギーと勢いが必要」と週3出社の理由を説明している。
