Around 13,000 workers, including people in technology and human resources, currently attend just twice monthly. NatWest will require nearly 40,000 UK employees to come in at least twice weekly from February 2027, saying face-to-face time helps colleagues share ideas and learn. Unite, the workers’ union, warns the change will raise travel and childcare costs for staff.
