Google has reaffirmed its commitment to a hybrid work model, dismissing concerns about a full-time return to the office, as per Amazon’s recent decision on the issue. During a town hall meeting, John Casey, Google’s vice president of global compensation and benefits, said: “We believe that the current policy strikes a good balance between flexibility and productivity.” Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of maintaining productivity while working from home. However, some employees, particularly in hardware teams, are required to be in the office four days a week. Google has also tightened its rules regarding in-office attendance, implementing hot-desking and piloting new workspace designs called “neighbourhoods.”
