Google CEO Sundar Pichai encourages employees to work from office three days a week 

Pichai stated that the search giant plans to move to a hybrid work week as COVID-induced lockdowns are being lifted in some countries where the situation has improved.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai in an email to the employees shared his plans to bring employees back to offices. Pichai stated that the search giant plans to move to a hybrid work week as COVID-induced lockdowns are being lifted in some countries where the situation has improved. However, in countries like India and Brazil, where COVID cases have surged over the past few months, employees will continue to work from home. Pichai in his email had encouraged the Google employees from areas where COVID-induced lockdown restrictions have eased to work from home for three days and two days from wherever they work best. “We’ll move to a hybrid work week when most Googlers spend approximately three days in the office and two days wherever they work best. Since in-office time will be focused on collaboration, your product areas, and functions will help decide which days team will come together in the office. There will also be roles that may need to be on-site more than three days a week due to the nature of the work,” Pichai said in an email to his employees.
