A new work policy has been implemented by Dell Technologies for its global sales team.
Employees who are able to work from corporate offices must do so five days a week starting on September 30.
Mandatory For Dell Employees To Return To Office For Five Days a Week
The three in-office days that were previously required have been increased by this regulation.
The goal of the modification is to encourage teamwork and skill growth among the sales force.
The internal message made it clear that working remotely ought to be the exception rather than the rule.
Five days a week, field agents are required to split their time between working in the office and engaging with customers and partners.
Certain employees who are unable to visit a Dell office have been granted an exception, enabling them to continue working remotely.
Dell reorganized their sales division in August, which resulted in 12,500 staff layoffs.
The business intends to combine sales teams into a new division with a primary focus on artificial intelligence (AI).
Although the precise number of layoffs has not been disclosed, estimates indicate that 12,500 workers, or around 10% of Dell’s workforce, may be impacted.
Dell has been having trouble with its primary PC business, which hasn’t made the kind of recovery that was expected.
The corporation reported lower profits for the second quarter of its fiscal year.
In a September 11 regulatory filing, Dell revealed plans for cost-cutting measures in response to financial concerns.
Dell Bans Promotions For Work From Home Employees
In March, news was that Dell’s once-flexible remote work policies have shifted with a strict return-to-office mandate, dividing employees into “hybrid” or “remote” categories.
Those opting for remote work face challenges in career advancement, as promotions are reserved for hybrid workers.
This marks a significant departure from CEO Michael Dell’s previous support for remote work, sparking frustration and concerns among employees.
Inspired By AI, Dell Is Firing 12,500 or 10% Employees
In August, we reported that Dell Technologies is restructuring its sales teams, which involves laying off employees.
The company is creating a new division dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) products and services to align its sales operations with its focus on AI and emerging technologies.
