Barclays Plc has told its investment bankers to work from the office at least four days a week, saying worsening market conditions mean a greater need for in-person collaboration.

Starting Oct. 3, the company expects dealmakers around the world to be back in the office Monday through Thursday, according to a memo sent to staff this week and seen by Bloomberg.
