General Motors has told its corporate staff they'll soon need to work in the office 3 days a week, partly reversing CEO Mary Barra's flexible-working policy

A shift away from the company's flexible-working policy has been marked by General GM's decision to require its corporate staff to work at least three days a week.

"Employees who transitioned to working remotely some or all of the time will pivot to a more regular in-person work cycle, and they will now be expected to work three days a week on campus," Maria Raynal, a GM spokeswoman, told Insider.

A companywide "Work Appropriate" policy was announced in April 2021.

GM was changing its policy to drive "collaboration, enterprise mindset, and impact" as the company prepares to launch as many as 22 electric vehicles by 2023, according to Raynal.

"We are committed to maintaining flexibility to ensure our employees can attend to personal commitments, and we will share details with them in the coming weeks."

On Friday, the policy change was reported by automotive news.

The Renaissance Center is GM's global headquarters and has around 2,300 people working there.

Apple is one of a number of high-profile companies that have recently ended flexible-working policies.
