Zoom Brings Employees Back to the Office Part-Time to Improve Remote Work Tools

Zoom is calling some employees back to the office 2 days a week to experience hybrid work challenges firsthand and build better collaborative products.

Zoom joins other tech companies requiring some office work, claiming it increases collaboration and innovation, but many workers push back.

Zoom calls its policy "structured hybrid" - requiring 2 office days for those within 50 miles, but 65% still fully remote.

Zoom says it's already seen benefits like identifying workspace product improvements, but admits it's early to judge the policy's success.

Zoom announced new collaborative products like Zoom Docs and AI features, aiming to position itself as a one-stop shop for hybrid work.
