HSBC Ends Work‑From‑Home Flexibility for Hong Kong Client‑Facing Staff

HSBC Hong Kong work policy will require customer‑facing employees including traders and sales personnel to return to the office five days a week from April 1, ending pandemic‑era work‑from‑home flexibility.

Managing directors and senior staff with direct reports must attend at least four days weekly, while other Hong Kong employees must attend three days.

HSBC employs more than 20,000 people in Hong Kong.

The updated HSBC Hong Kong work policy reflects a broader industry trend as global banks push for greater in‑person collaboration and client engagement.
