Amazon Has Enforced Full-Time Return To Office Policy, But It Hasn't Gone Down Well With The UK Government, Which Is Pushing For Flexible Working As Holiday Season Approaches: Here's What's Happening
Contrastingly, a Stanford University study found that Chinese home workers were 13% more productive due to fewer breaks and sick days. However, fully remote work could lead to a 10% drop in productivity compared to full-time office work.Ahead of the holiday season, Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is enforcing a return-to-office five days a week mandate, clashing with the UK government's push for flexible working rights.
在假期季節來臨之際，亞馬遜公司（納斯達克:AMZN）正在執行每週五天返廠的強制性要求，與英國政府推動靈活工作權利的立場相沖突。
What Happened: Amazon argues that in-office work fosters better invention, collaboration, and connection among employees. However, the UK government links flexible working to improved performance and a more loyal workforce, reported BBC.
事件經過：亞馬遜認爲辦公室工作有助於更好地激發創新、合作和員工之間的聯繫。然而，英國政府則將靈活工作與績效提升和更忠誠的員工隊伍聯繫起來，據BBC報道。
Microsoft's study during the pandemic indicated that remote workers collaborated more within existing networks but built fewer new connections. Real-time communication also declined, replaced by more emails and instant messages.
微軟在疫情期間的研究表明，遠程員工在現有網絡中合作更多，但建立的新聯繫較少。實時溝通也下降，取而代之的是更多的電子郵件和即時消息。
Contrastingly, a Stanford University study found that Chinese home workers were 13% more productive due to fewer breaks and sick days. However, fully remote work could lead to a 10% drop in productivity compared to full-time office work.
相比之下，斯坦福大學的一項研究發現，中國在家工作者由於休息和病假較少，生產力提高了13%。然而，完全遠程辦公可能導致生產力下降10%，與全職辦公相比。
Other tech giants like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley have also required employees to return to the office. Elon Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX, enforce similar policies, with SpaceX losing 15% of its senior employees after implementing the rule, according to a study published earlier this year.
高盛、摩根大通和摩根士丹利等其他科技巨頭也要求員工返廠。埃隆·馬斯克旗下的特斯拉和spacex公司實施類似政策，根據今年早些時候發表的一項研究，spacex執行該規定後，高級員工減少了15%。
The debate continues as the UK government believes that some level of home working boosts productivity, while Amazon maintains that full-time office work is essential for their operational success.
辯論仍在繼續，英國政府認爲在家辦公的某種程度可以提高生產力，而亞馬遜堅持全職辦公對其運營成功至關重要。
Why It Matters: The clash between Amazon and the UK government over remote work policies is part of a broader trend among major corporations. Recently, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon called for federal employees to return to their offices, expressing frustration over empty buildings in Washington, DC.
事關重大：亞馬遜與英國政府在遠程辦公政策上的衝突是主要跨國公司之間更廣泛趨勢的一部分。最近，摩根大通首席執行官傑米·戴蒙呼籲聯邦僱員返回辦公室，對華盛頓特區空置大樓感到沮喪。
Amazon's decision to end remote work and mandate office presence starting in January has sparked significant attention. Former employees, like John McBride, have criticized the move, suggesting it may be driven by economic factors to reduce headcount and boost margins.
亞馬遜決定結束遠程辦公，並自明年一月開始實施強制辦公政策已引起廣泛關注。類似約翰·麥克布萊德一類的前員工批評這一舉措，並暗示可能是出於經濟原因以減少人數和提高利潤。
Additionally, Amazon has been making headlines with its recent initiatives. The company announced a pay increase for its front-line employees, raising the average compensation to over $29 per hour and investing $2.2 billion ahead of the holiday season.
此外，亞馬遜最近通過其一系列新舉措成爲新聞頭條。該公司宣佈提高一線員工的薪資，平均報酬提高至每小時超過29美元，並在假期季前投資了220億美元。
However, Amazon's new benefits, such as free Prime membership, are exclusively available to warehouse workers, leaving corporate staff out.
然而，亞馬遜的新福利，如免費的Prime會員資格，只適用於倉庫工人，而不包括企業員工。
