The bank found that more than four in five of its 29,000 staff were able to work seamlessly remotely, it said at the time.\nStill, Mr Gupta said that companies are stronger when staff are also office based.\n\"At the end of the day, if you want to be a company, you need alignment of purpose, alignment of intent, you need a common culture,\" he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
