Alphabet’s Google will allow its employees to work from home until September next year, which will extend their return to the office by a few months, the New York Times reported Monday.
The company is testing the idea of a safe and flexible working week to return to the office, CEO Sundar Pichai said in an email to employees on Sunday.
As part of the plan, Google employees are expected to work in the office at least three days a week while working from home on other days, the newspaper report said.
“We are testing the hypothesis that a flexible work model will lead to greater productivity, cooperation and well-being,” Pichai wrote in the email.
Google was one of the first companies to ask its employees to work from home due to an epidemic. Earlier it delayed the time for employees to return to the office from January to July next year.
