JM Smucker Company's Return to Office Plan: The Core Week
The JM Smucker Company has implemented a return to office plan called the Core Week, which is proving to be effective. Employees are asked to be on-site only 25% of the time, or about six days a month during 22 core weeks in a year. Instead of mandating specific days, Smucker's has avoided popular vacation months and allows employees to schedule their in-office time around the core weeks. The company has found that employees are logging more hours during those weeks, conducting important meetings, and engaging in group activities. The Core Week plan offers flexibility in recruiting talent outside of Ohio while maintaining in-person perks.
