JD Sports has requested all head office employees based around the world return to the office at least four days a week.
The new policy, effective July 1, will impact employees at the sports giant’s UK head office in Bury.
JD Sports will still allow a flexible approach, depending on individual roles and responsibilities, and said it believes the move will give works more room for personal development, collaboration and teamwork.

Boots managing director Seb James informed staff in March the business was reverting back to working in the office five days a week to allow its three head offices to become a “normal place of work” again for employees.
