Last year WPP, Apple and Amazon increased their in-office days, with the latter two tech companies mandating five days in office. In February this year, adland’s best-performing holding company Publicis Groupe increased its mandated staff attendance from three days to four.

In the age of AI and efficiency, this episode of The Campaign Podcast is asking whether being in the office more does actually increase productivity, if it is possible to measure staff productivity and might adland soon be in the office for more days a week. 

Hosted by tech and multimedia editor Lucy Shelley, this episode includes deputy editor Gemma Charles, deputy media editor Shauna Lewis and deputy creative and culture editor Charlotte Rawlings.
