Google Wants Employees To Work From Home For Another Full Year

Google will continue to let employees work from home through the end of June 2021 Google extends its work-from-home policy for employees until summer 2021

To give employees the ability to plan ahead, we are extending our global voluntary work from home option through June 30, 2021 for roles that don't need to be in the office.

The remote-work order issued on Monday by Google CEO Sundar Pichai affects other companies owned by Google's corporate parent, Alphabet Inc, and marks a six-month extension of the search giant's previous plan to keep most of its offices closed through the rest of this year. As well as keeping employees safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it's hoped that by extending the policy for a year, decisions are easier to make regarding education for children and leases for homes. Though, of course, this is far from the first time the studio has announced a new release date for the highly anticipated thriller that nevertheless has been subject to the most high profile pandemic jostling. By comparison, Microsoft still intends to start bringing employees back to the office sometime this fall.

Although there are now 42 reopened Google offices around the world, the company is obviously bracing itself for the expected long-lasting impact of the pandemic that continues to ravage the U.S.

Google has decided its workers can return to the office in July-just not July 2020, reports the Wall Street Journal.

At Google, Pichai wrote that "We are still learning a lot from our experiences of working from home and will use that knowledge to inform our approach to the future of work at Google".
