"We are of course a global company that operates across time zones, but when our work regularly spills over into nights, very early mornings and weekends, it can prevent us from recharging fully, and that isn't good for you nor, ultimately, for Citi." Staff can still Zoom with clients or at other outside meetings if needed, she added.Ĭalls also should not be placed "outside of what had been traditional working hours pre-pandemic and on weekends. The policy only pertains to internal Citi meetings, which should be done by phone on Friday. "After listening to colleagues around the world, it became apparent we need to combat the 'Zoom fatigue' that many of us feel," Ms Fraser said of the Friday ban on Zoom calls. Jane Fraser, who took over the top job at Citi earlier this month, said in a note to employees she wants to "reset" life at work in light of complaints of non-stop work days during the pandemic when employees labor at home and participate in non-stop digital meetings.
Citi is to institute "Zoom-Free Fridays" and establish an employee day-off in May as firms seek to restore work-life balance amid the pandemic, the bank's new chief executive announced.
