    Walt Disney Co. is asking its workers to return to the companyAs offices
    four days a week starting on March 1, according to an internal memo seen
    by Bloomberg.

    oEmployees currently working in a hybrid fashion will be asked to spend
    four days a week on-site, targeting Monday through Thursday as in-person workdays,o Bob Iger, who returned as chief executive officer of Disney in November, said in the memo.

    Iger, who ran the Burbank, California-based entertainment giant from 2005
    to 2020, said in his first meeting with employees after returning last
    year that he was planning to spend a lot of time in the office and joked
    that he hoped he wouldnAt be lonely. He also suggested workers could
    adjust their hours to avoid traffic when they come back.

    In MondayAs memo, Iger praised staffers for their work, citing the
    companyAs film Avatar: The Way of Water becoming the seventh highest-
    grossing movie of all time, as well as ESPNAs handling of Damar HamlinAs cardiac arrest during Monday Night Football.

    oIn a creative business like ours, nothing can replace the ability to
    connect, observe, and create with peers that comes from being physically together, nor the opportunity to grow professionally by learning from
    leaders and mentors,o Iger said in the memo, which was reported earlier by CNBC.
