Lyft’s new CEO David Risher announced another change for the ride-share company: Workers will soon have to return to the office.

On Friday, Risher announced “the first steps in a plan for a flexible model with more regular in-office work,” a Lyft spokesperson said.

“Personal connection matters and Lyft is about bringing people together,” a statement from Lyft said.

Lyft did not comment on the specifics of the plan but The New York Times reported Risher informed employees they would be required to return to the office at least three times a week – – Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays – beginning after Labor Day.

In an interview with the newspaper, Risher suggested remote work had isolated employees from each other, adding, “There’s a real feeling of satisfaction that comes from working together at a whiteboard on a problem.”

It’s a polar switch-up from Lyft’s previous policy. Last March, the ride-sharing company announced it would become a “fully flexible workplace,” giving its employees the choice of where to work and live while strongly supporting in-person team gatherings.
