Google is preparing to transition from voluntary work to mixed work, with most employees reporting in Seattle and Kirkland, Washington., Work three days a week.
Two years after the covid-19 office closed, Google announced on Wednesday that it plans to use its March staff to transition to new daily jobs as more companies announce plans for their work style and location.
A spokesman said workers should “strive to fully adapt to our mixed working mode by April 4.”.
Google said that employees can work more time in the office if they like. Due to the nature of the work, some positions may need to work on site more than three days a week.
In 2004, Google was the first technology company in Silicon Valley to set up an engineering outpost in Seattle. At present, more than 100 foreign companies have satellite offices in the region.
Google now has more than 7000 employees in Seattle and Kirkland across Lake Washington. It is no longer an outpost, but the company’s largest engineering operation company in the United States, far from its hometown in mountain view, California.
Inspired by employee feedback, “the hybrid workweek approach is designed to maximize flexibility while promoting innovation, collaboration and the office experience among colleagues.”
Google said that since the launch of the new workplace tool last June, nearly 14000 employees around the world have moved to new locations or to full remote work – about 85 per cent of applications have been approved.
