The company expects 60% of its approximately 140,000 global employees to spend around three days in the office per week after the pandemic. Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai announced the policy in a company-wide memo, which was later published in a blog post as well as a series of tweets. According to Pichai, a majority of employees will come into the office a few days a week. Nonetheless, 20% of employees are expected to work from home on a regular basis with 20%% working from new office locations. Google is the latest tech company to announce significant shifts to its post-pandemic working culture.
Microsoft will allow employees to work from home for up to 50% of the working week. Employees will be able to work remotely on a permanent basis with their manager’s approval.
Salesforce which owns Slack is also willing to adapt to the new reality. It declared that a 9-to-5 workday is dead. The majority of the company’s employees come to the office between one and three days a week. Twitter and Facebook also announced similar plans to let their employees work from home or work remotely indefinitely.
Google is ready to support its employees, and it will make it easier for them to switch between offices or to work fully remotely. In both cases, they will have to ask for permission from their managers. At the same time, a “work-from-anywhere weeks” policy will let employees temporarily work from places outside their main office for up to four weeks a year. The company will provide more details regarding its policy by mid-June.
The company’s employees across North America, and all over the world started to work from home in March of last year. It was the right decision as Google and other tech companies wanted to protect their employees.
Last month, Google reopened its offices located in the U.S. on a limited basis. It is mandatory to wear a mask, and employees should try not to keep some distance from their colleagues. Despite all limitations, almost 60% of employees decided to work from the office.
