Microsoft To Mandate 3 Days In Office Work From Jan 2026

US tech giant Microsoft is planning to tighten its office attendance policy, potentially implementing changes as early as January for some employees. The new policy will likely require employees to work in the office at least three days a week.

The implementation dates for this policy differ across regions. Employees at the Redmond, Washington,



headquarters will be required to work from the office more consistently starting in January, according to multiple media reports.

Microsoft spokesperson Frank Shaw confirmed the company is considering updates to its flexible work policies, but no final decisions have been reached. The tech giant has planned to announce the new policy by September.
