Many of Toyota’s North American employees are being recalled back to the office Monday through Thursday starting in September.
Bloomberg first reported on the move. A spokesperson for the Japanese automaker confirmed the news to B-17 but offered no further details.
Employees will be allowed to work from home on Fridays “subject to business needs,” the outlet reported.
Toyota is the latest corporate giant to order employees back to the office. Amazon, AT&T, Boeing, and Salesforce have all recently issued to return to office requirements for their employees.
Toyota employs more than 64,000 people in North America in 14 factories, as well as in design, engineering, and corporate offices.
The automaker sold more than 2.3 million Lexus and Toyota-branded cars, trucks, and SUVs in the US in 2024, up 3.7 percent from 2023.
