Comcast's new return-to-work policy will bring thousands of employees to downtown Philadelphia on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays starting Sept. 12.
Starting Sept. 12, U.S.-based Comcast cable and corporate workers will need to work three days a week in the office, according to a company memo and spokespeople. That includes“common” days — Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday — for in-office work, while on Mondays and Fridays, employees can work remotely.
“In-person interaction ... is core to our company and culture,” said the memo, distributed nationally. “We need more certainty and direction to coordinate our in-office time.” The company had previously encouraged employees to work three days a week in the office but had not specified the days. Comcast’s new return-to-work policy could bring thousands back downtown and help spur a slow economic revitalization of JFK Boulevard, where the company has its headquarters and technology center.
“The more business leaders who recognize the positive economic impact that their in-office presence has on diverse small businesses downtown and all those workers who don’t have the option of working remotely, the faster we can achieve the full restoration of jobs of all kinds across the city,” said Paul Levy, director of the Center City District, a business leadership organization.
Comcast isn’t requiring proof of vaccination to return to the offices in Center City or nationwide, according to the memo. A company spokesperson said the company would adhere to local and state regulations on masking and vaccinations.who asked to remain anonymous because they weren’t authorized to speak to the media. “It’s hard to put the genie back in the bottle because so many people haven’t been back in the office. Some of my employees are in Maryland or way out in New Jersey.
