TD Bank Implements Four-Day In-Office Requirement for Staff

TD Bank Group has announced a transition to a four-day in-office work requirement for its employees, aligning with similar moves by other major banks. Starting on October 6, 2025, employees at the associate vice-president level and above will be expected to work from the office four days a week. Non-executive staff will begin to follow this policy on November 3, 2025.

In a memo to employees, Melanie Burns, TD’s Chief Human Resources Officer, emphasized the bank’s belief that in-person work enhances collaboration, decision-making, and overall job performance. Burns stated that working together in an office environment fosters learning opportunities, aids in career development, and strengthens the company’s culture.

This decision by TD Bank comes in the wake of similar policies adopted by other financial institutions, including RBC, BMO, and Scotiabank, which have also moved to require four days in the office starting in September. While banks have expressed the intention to return to more in-person work, they acknowledge that the implementation may vary based on the availability of office space.

TD Bank indicated that many of its locations will be prepared for the new requirement by November 3; however, certain teams may have different timelines due to varying readiness of their respective offices. Burns reassured employees that management will retain flexibility, allowing for occasional work-from-home days as necessary.

With this shift, TD Bank aims to ensure that its workspaces are conducive to employee needs while also adapting to the evolving landscape of workplace expectations post-pandemic. As the financial sector navigates these changes, the emphasis remains on fostering a collaborative and effective working environment that benefits both the employees and the organization.
