Bank of Montreal has started bringing investment and corporate bankers back to their offices this week, and is seeking to have staff fully returned on a hybrid basis by early April.

Bankers began their return on Feb. 7, and workers on all teams will spend two to three days a week in the office as of April 4, Alan Tannenbaum, head of global investment and corporate banking, said in a memo to staffers last week. Employees who aren’t vaccinated will have to continue working from home, according to the memo.
Bank of Montreal’s plans mark one of the first moves by Canada’s banks to start refilling offices after the omicron variant caused a wave of infections that prompted governments to tighten restrictions and recommend companies let employees work remotely. Bank of Nova Scotia and Manulife Financial Corp. were among the Canadian financial firms that had set January dates for large-scale returns to their offices, only to pull those plans as omicron spread.
