(Reuters) – Lyft Inc said on Friday it has asked employees to return to office, the latest move by new CEO David Risher after the ride-hailing firm decided to cut 26% of its workforce.<\/p>\n

“Today, (the CEO) shared with Lyft team members the first steps in a plan for a flexible model with more regular in-office work,” a Lyft spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The company said on Thursday it would lay off 1,072 workers and also announced restructuring plans including the elimination of three layers of management from 8 to 5 and division of its rideshare business into three core teams.<\/p>\n

Last year, Lyft decided to sublease parts of its office space in San Francisco, New York City, Nashville and Seattle, as more employees worked from home, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

The company, which faces stiff competition from bigger rival Uber Technologies Inc in a slowing economy, appointed former Amazon and Microsoft executive Risher as CEO in March to tackle its challenges.<\/p>\n
