Rogers Communications is phasing in a new return-to-office (RTO) policy that will ultimately require all corporate employees to be in the office five days per week, according to a July 28 report from HRD Canada.

The company, which employs approximately 24,000 people, said the phased approach is designed to give employees and their families time to adjust.

New RTO Plan Comes Two Months After Layoffs

Just two months prior to the new RTO mandate (May 24, 2025), TD Bank cut approximately 2% (2,000 workers) of its global workforce.

The bank has not explicitly linked the layoffs to its return-to-office plans, but many recent RTO policy changes have occurred in close proximity to layoffs.

 

How Rogers Compares To Canadian Peers

Rogers’ updated policy is more stringent than most of Canada’s largest employers.

  • The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal (BMO), and Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) are all mandating four days per week in the office starting in late 2025, while hybrid policies requiring three or fewer in-office days remain common across the country.
  • Only a handful of major employers, such as Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and Brookfield Corporation, are currently operating under five-day mandates.
