Hi all,
Before we return to the office (RTO) full time in Los Angeles and New York on January 5, we wanted to provide a few key updates.
First, individual workspace seating assignments will be shared by mid-December. In general, most teams will stay in their current areas, although some will be moving floors to ensure that everyone has their own dedicated workspace. We are partnering with senior leaders to plan these changes carefully, taking into account team and business needs.
Second, to prepare our workplace for RTO, we are conducting a “Clean + Pack” period from November 10–21 at select locations (see the tables below).
Clean + Pack applies to non-production employees in agile workspaces.
Employees with existing dedicated offices/workstations will receive a separate communication with guidance if applicable.
Location - Clean + Pack
- 1515 Broadway - YES
- Gower - YES
- Streaming West Hollywood - YES
- Streaming Burbank - YES
Location - Clean + Pack
- Paramount Pictures Studio Lot - NO
- CBS Broadcast Center (524, 555 W 57th St) - NO
- Nick Animation Studio - NO
- Radford - NO
- 2900 Olympic Blvd (Santa Monica) - NO
- Cloud Control Center (Hauppauge) - NO
|||| Clean + Pack – What’s Required ||||
Please pack any personal belongings from your workstation, office, and/or locker in a box clearly labeled with your full name.
Facilities will provide boxes, packing materials, and bins for trash, donations, shredding, and recycling.
Leave the box in your current workspace so that Facilities can move it to a secure place on your current floor. You’ll be instructed to retrieve your box in January when full-time office work begins. Valuable items and confidential materials should be brought home.
Any personal items that are left unpacked after November 21 will be discarded. Items in storage rooms and file banks will remain as they are.
- 1515 Broadway & Gower ONLY – Remote Work Period
All non-production employees at 1515 Broadway and Gower, including those in dedicated offices and workstations, should plan to work remotely from December 1 – January 2. This will ensure our Real Estate & Facilities teams have time to make needed adjustments, prep workspaces for moves, and ready these buildings for our return.
If you would like to work in the office during this period, contact your Workplace Ambassador team (for CA or for NY) to make arrangements.
Existing Ergonomics + Specialized Desktop Technology
If you have an existing dedicated ergonomic setup, contact your Workplace Ambassador team (for CA or for NY). For questions or to request an ergonomic evaluation, email [email redacted].
If you have existing specialized desktop technology in an office or workstation, contact
Client Services or Production Technology.
Looking Ahead
More updates will follow in the coming weeks with details on workspace moves and team-specific guidance, as well as an overview of onsite services, benefit programs, info sessions, and other resources to help you prepare for RTO. If you have questions on RTO or are unsure whether Clean + Pack applies to you, please refer to this RTO FAQ or contact AskHR.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we prepare to return to the office full time in the new year.
Best,
Paramount RTO Task Force
