CEO of IBM, Arvind Krishna, has expressed concern that employees may struggle to get promotions and see their career progress hindered if they continue to work from home. During a Monday interview with Bloomberg, Krishna urged workers to return to the office, noting that it is necessary to learn key professional skills and experiences in order to progress in their career.
IBM’s Human Resources Chief, Nickle LaMoreaux, also echoed this sentiment and stated in 2121 that the company would be returning to part-time office working post-pandemic. This matters especially for IBM due to its recent decision to slow or suspend hiring for back-office roles to reduce human-to-machine redundancy.
