MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) – Employees at one of the Madison area’s largest employers are being told to return to the office.
Management at Epic Systems in Verona are recalling all of the company’s 9,100 employees back to the office starting next week.
Media outlets report the company wants to return to in-person operations. In an email to employees, CEO Judy Faulkner called employees heroes who are helping medical professionals be heroes as well, and that everyone will be more efficient and effective in person.
Many employees have expressed their concerns with some questioning the need to be in person. A majority of Epic System’s employees have been working from home since the start of the pandemic, and say they’ve been just as productive as in the office.
