NBCUniversal will require its US-based employees to work from the office for at least four days a week from next year.<\/p>\n

The move was confirmed in a memo to staff from NBCU chief operating officer Adam Miller, who said the requirement to work Monday to Thursday \u201consite\u201d would be in place by 5 January 2026.<\/p>\n

Staff will be able to choose whether to work from home on Fridays, the memo added, with Miller writing that flexibility \u201cwill remain an important part of our culture, and the company will continue to accommodate life events with options such as time off, adjusted hours, or additional remote days when appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBCU staff in the US had previously been required in offices three days a week, but parent Comcast had implemented a four-day-a-week minimum in 2023.<\/p>\n

Miller added: \u201cWe understand you may need to make adjustments to adhere to this change. We ask that you use the time between now and January to make any necessary plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you will not be prepared to comply with the 4-day in-office requirement by January 5, 2026, please discuss your options with your HR manager. If you are VP level or below, you may be eligible for a voluntary exit assistance package.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller added that \u201cin-person work and collaboration spark innovation, promote creativity, and build stronger connections.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move follows news that Paramount will require its staff around the world to work from the office five days a week from 2026<\/a>. It was not immediately clear how Miller\u2019s memo affects requirements of NBCU\u2019s staff outside of the US.<\/p>\n
