UnitedHealth Group will require some hybrid employees in Minnesota and Washington, D.C. to be in office four days per week starting July 7, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reported.
It is unclear how many of the company’s total employees are affected by the decision.
“Fostering strong connections and in-person collaboration helps strengthen employee teams based in our Twin Cities offices to further enhance innovation and better coordinate the support we provide to the customers we are honored to serve,” the company told the Journal.
Following the pandemic, UnitedHealth was among companies nationwide offering the most hybrid or remote positions and cutting office space to reflect that. In 2023, UnitedHealth said it would move its Minnetonka, Minn.-based headquarters to an existing campus occupied by Optum in nearby Eden Prairie. UnitedHealthcare continues to be based in Minnetonka. The companies previously said the decision to consolidate headquarters reflected the need for less office space as more employees worked remotely.
