HSBC y Hang Seng Bank eliminan la flexibilidad de teletrabajo para el personal de primera línea en Hong Kong

HSBC y Hang Seng Bank están endureciendo las normas laborales en Hong Kong, exigiendo a traders y vendedores que regresen a la oficina a partir del 1 de abril. Un memorando interno indica que el personal de cara al cliente debe seguir las nuevas directrices, con los gerentes instados a dar ejemplo.

En un memorando interno al que tuvo acceso el South China Morning Post, HSBC, el mayor banco de la ciudad, ha pedido al personal de cara al cliente, incluidos traders y vendedores, que siga las nuevas normas a partir del 1 de abril. Fuentes indicaron que Hang Seng Bank seguiría las mismas normas. Los directores gerentes y gerentes senior con informes directos deben acudir a la oficina al menos cuatro días a la semana, mientras que todo el resto del personal debe estar presente al menos tres días, uno de los cuales sea lunes o viernes, sujeto a la disponibilidad de espacio en la oficina. El memorando instó a los gerentes de personas a dar ejemplo, diciendo que son fundamentales para impulsar las buenas prácticas y la experiencia. «Les pedimos que sirvan de modelo para el cambio con una orientación clara», añadió. Este cambio de política marca el regreso a la asistencia presencial en la oficina en el sector bancario tras la pandemia de covid-19, aunque los detalles se limitan al personal de primera línea.
