Nurphoto/Getty ImagesSpotify's HR chief told Raconteur that the company will maintain its work-from-anywhere policy.Spotify saw a 15% lower attrition rate and increased workplace diversity in 2022 after implementing its policy.Many major companies are enforcing office returns, citing productivity and collaboration benefits.Amazon might be ordering employees back to the office 5 days a week, but don't expect Spotify to follow suit.Spotify's chief human resources officer, Katarina Berg, reaffirmed the company's work-from-anywhere (WFA) policy in a recent interview with Raconteur on Monday, saying that "work is not a place you come to, it's something you do" — echoing the company's past sentiment."You can't spend a lot of time hiring grown-ups and then treat them like children," Berg said.The digital music platform first introduced its WFA policy in February 2021, which allowed employees to work full-time from home, in the office, or create a hybrid schedule with their manager.Spotify also expanded its flexibility regarding the countries and cities employees can work from, even for locations that are not near a physical office.Berg said some employees prefer office work, and the company will continue to have physical offices and a "core week" where teams are encouraged to meet up in person.And employees seem to have responded well.
