Paramount orders full onsite return

“Being together in-person isn’t just about showing up – it’s about actively engaging with the business, supporting one another and the team’s efforts, and contributing to our shared momentum.”

Phased office-return policy

Under the plan, employees assigned to Paramount’s Los Angeles and New York offices will be asked to return onsite full-time starting January 5.

Those who cannot or refuse to make the transition have the alternative to take severance packages, which are made available until September 15, 2025, according to Ellison.

Office-return plans for those not assigned to the Los Angeles and New York offices, those in international offices, and employees originally hired for fully remote roles will be announced in 2026.

“VPs and below in Phase Two will be eligible for a similar opt-in programme and will receive details at a later date,” Ellison said.
