The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston has eliminated work-from-home options and is requiring employees to work from its offices five days a week.

The new policy went into effect on Sept. 2, a spokesperson said.

“We appreciate our team members, the work they do, and we will work with them to make these arrangements successful,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

The Boston Fed, whose district covers New England, conducts economic research, oversees community development programs, and participates in monetary policymaking.

The Boston Fed’s return-to-office policies follow other institutions in the Federal Reserve System. Officers at staff at the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, the main governing body of the Federal Reserve in Washington, were called back to the office five days a week in March. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis also began requiring employees to work from the office five days a week as of Sept. 2.

Return-to-office policies have made a comeback, especially in the tech industry. Companies such as AT&T, Amazon, and Dell, called staffers back last year.

Still, hybrid work policies seem to have settled in across Massachusetts, according to recent surveys by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and Massachusetts Business Roundtable. About 90 percent of employers surveyed said they do not expect any changes to primarily hybrid work models.

Studies from Stanford University show increased morale and productivity among employees who work in a hybrid model. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that nearly half of the workers surveyed nationally would look for another job if their employer stops offering options to work from home.

Work-from-home policies, however, have hurt central business districts that have traditionally relied of workers to go out to lunch, visit shops, and spend money. Downtown Boston is still struggling to find its pre-pandemic luster.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses across the city’s once-bustling downtown saw a significant reduction in foot traffic, much of it because of fewer workers going to the office, according to the city of Boston. As of earlier this month, Boston foot traffic was 30 percent below pre-covid levels, according to a report by Placer.ai.
