Publicis Media in the US, has reportedly laid off staff numbering “in the high double digits but less than 100” in a crackdown on working from home.
The disagreement is due to staffers ignoring its return-to-office policy, according to a source familiar with the matter.
“We have been clear and consistent about our policy that employees work from the office at least three days a week, an expectation that is being met and exceeded by the majority of our talent,” said a Publicis Media U.S. spokesperson.
Publicis Media has 10,000 employees in the U.S. and its brands include Publicis Collective, Publicis Health Media, Spark Foundry, Starcom and Zenith.
All Publicis Groupe employees globally have been required to be in the office three days a week, including a mandatory presence on Mondays, with no consecutive remote working days as of the start of this year.
