英国国民西敏寺银行集团(NatWest)近日宣布提高办公室出勤要求，将13000名员工的在办公室工作频率从每月两天增加至每周两天，新政策将于2027年2月起实施1。这一决定涉及技术、安全、数据分析及人力资源等多个部门的员工1。
工会方面对此举措表示强烈反对。工会组织Unite的总书记Sharon Graham指出，这项政策将加重员工的交通和托儿费用负担，对于"多年来遭受实际工资削减、苦苦支撑生活的工人来说又是一次打击"1。NatWest在英国共拥有近40000名员工1，此次调整影响范围较广。
NatWest官方声称新政策的目的是"帮助团队协作"1。同业竞争对手巴克莱银行此前在员工反对后已对其办公室回归计划进行了调整1。
NatWest Group has mandated that 13,000 employees increase their office attendance from two days per month to two days per week, effective February 2027.1 The bank, which employs nearly 40,000 staff in the UK, said the new policy is intended to help facilitate team collaboration.1
The decision has drawn sharp criticism from Unite, the union representing the workers affected. Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham stated that the move represents "another blow for workers who have endured real wage cuts for years and are struggling to get by."1 The union argues the increased commuting requirement will impose additional financial hardship on employees already facing rising living costs, particularly those earning the lowest salaries and those requiring childcare.1 The policy will impact staff across technology, security, data analysis, and human resources departments.1
The announcement comes as other financial institutions have retreated from similar measures. Barclays Bank, facing employee resistance, has already softened its own office return requirements.1
