Partial Office Return Implemented by Activision and Blizzard

A hybrid work model is being introduced by Activision and Blizzard, requiring employees to split their time between the office and remote work. The change was initially revealed by employees who anonymously shared their concerns about the new policy on online platforms, as reported by VGC. A spokesperson for Activision Blizzard confirmed the update, stating that the company has been gradually transitioning teams back to the office over the past year. "As of February 13, we have updated our approach to the future of work, tailoring our plans to meet the unique needs of our business and teams," the spokesperson said. "We are excited about the potential for enhanced collaboration and innovation that will arise from this shift." According to sources familiar with the matter, Activision employees will begin their three-day office schedule on the week of April 10, while Blizzard employees will follow suit on the week of July 10. In a related development, King employees have been working in-person since July 2022. This update comes almost a year after the company revised its COVID-19 vaccination requirements.
