Disclaimer: Yes, I am aware the goal posts have changed and are likely to change. This information is based on current expectations.
The adherence data is delayed every single month. Every. Single. Month. If it isn't corrected by week two of a given month, there is a process you can follow in MyHR to have it corrected.
The current metric is the average over each rolling three-month period. January, February, and March are no longer factoring into that. Neither is April. Right now, it's May, June, and July.
If you've averaged more than 60% per three-month period (Jan-Mar, Feb-Apr, Mar-May, Apr-Jun, May-Jul), you're fine.
If you continue to average more than 60% across Jun-Aug, Jul-Sep, Aug-Oct, Sep-Nov, Oct-Dec, and so on, you will continue to be fine.
If your May-Jul average (or any three-month period in the future) is less than 60%, yes, you will have to work additional days in office to raise that average.
You can calculate in advance how many days you need to be in office each month, based on your Adjusted Working Days (Total Possible Days minus Vacation/Holiday/Sick days) to maintain the more-than-60% average across each rolling three-month period.
Yes, I am aware we should not have to do that.
The "Working in the office: In-office attendance and reporting (Global)" article FAQs in MyHR address the change that took place in April.
"Q. Am I held to the 'more than 60% in-office' expectation for Q1 2026 if the updated measurement approach didn't take effect until Q2 2026?
A. Yes, as the expectation of working three-plus days in the office was established and communicated over 12 months ago."
Reason being that three-plus Total Possible Working days in office each week in January, February, and March (not Adjusted Possible Working Days) averages at more than 60% and would have been achieved by employees following the expectation for Q1, which, again, is no longer factoring into the three-month average.
