JP Morgan Chase has told staff moving into its new headquarters in New York that they must share their biometric data to access the multibillion-dollar building.

The investment bank had previously planned for the registering of biometric data by employees at its new Manhattan skyscraper to be voluntary.

However, employees of the US’s biggest bank who have started work at the headquarters since August have received emails saying that biometric access was “required”, according to communications seen by the Financial Times.

Some companies do "internet only" wifi where there is no routing to internal services for anyone, radius or not. A VPN is required, even when at work, to access anything internal wirelessly. Its a perfectly reasonable config that lowers the risk of breach of your internal network by exposing less of it over the air.

This is also the nominal config for most zero trust networks, but that's more a consequence of the "always on" nature of those VPN connections since you never have unencryted traffic anywhere, regardless of origin point.
