INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) On Monday, Lilly announced plans to start bringing more employees back to work at its downtown headquarters.
Thousands have been working from home since the pandemic began. A Lilly spokesperson told News 8 that about 7,000 office employees currently work from home.
Jeff Rickard has worked in downtown Indianapolis in person for about two months.
“I got used to working at home, but I gotta be honest with you: I like coming downtown again,” said Rickard, who does not work at Lilly but works downtown.
Others will also soon be back downtown again. On June 1, 25% of Lilly’s office-based workforce will be invited to the downtown offices.
