Several Twin Cities corporations have already called employees back to the office, including Ameriprise in downtown Minneapolis. The company previously required three days in office.

Employees outside the downtown core are also upping the return to office requirements, such as Medtronic. Both companies will require four days in office, effective Sept. 2.

General Mills had also implemented a looser “Work With Heart” policy coming out of the pandemic that gave individual leaders the power to choose on when and how often their hybrid teams were asked to come into the office.

This past February, however, General Mills tightened up the requirements by recalling workers in its largest unit — North American retail — every Tuesday through Thursday, including many at the Golden Valley headquarters campus.

Walmart and other major retailers have already made adjustments to their in-office mandates.

Earlier this year, Walmart unveiled a new headquarter campus in Bentonville, Ark. Some office-based employees have been asked to relocate to the new headquarters, as well as its office in Sunnyvale, Calif.
