In an interview, Deutsche Bank chief financial officer James von Moltke told Bloomberg Television: “It’s a range of 40% to 60%, we think, of flexibility.
“And it will really be up to the employee, but in a structured way with the manager so we know when people are expected to come to the office.”
However, the bank did not specify a detailed schedule of return due to location-specific challenges.
Moltke further said in the interview: “We do see that opening coming. And we’d expect in some important locations like London and New York for that to start in the next several months.”
