Top Tech Giant To Reopen Its Office, Announces Financial Package To Staff Members!

Renowned Tech Giant - Google is all set to reopen on July 6 for its employees. It has also announced to give $1,000 (around ₹75,000) to each of its workers globally for expenses on necessary equipment and office furniture as they work from home. 

Meanwhile, the CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the company will restart opening more buildings in other cities from July 6.

"This will give Googlers who need to come back to the office—or, capacity permitting, who want to come back—the opportunity to return on a limited, rotating basis (think: one day every couple of weeks, so roughly 10 percent building occupancy)," Pichai said in a statement on Tuesday.

Further in his opinion, Pichai claimed that Google will gain 30 percent office capacity by September by further scaling the rotation programme.

"Because we still expect that most Googlers will be largely working from home for the rest of this year, we'll be giving each Googler an allowance of $1,000, or the equivalent value in your country, to expense necessary equipment and office furniture," Pichai announced.

"If this applies to you, your manager will let you know by June 10. For everyone else, returning to the office will be voluntary through the end of the year, and we encourage you to continue to work from home if you can," said Pichai further said.

As per earlier reports, Google originally planned to keep work from home until June 1. After employees expressed interest in returning back to office this move was taken. While there are others, who have asked it's okay to temporarily relocate to another place so that they can be closer to family while one is working from home.

"We'll have rigorous health and safety measures in place to ensure social distancing and sanitization guidelines are followed, so the office will look and feel different than when you left. We are taking slow, deliberate steps to begin re-opening offices in areas where they still remain largely closed. We're also investing more in your work-from-home setup to make sure you have what you need to be productive and comfortable," said the Google CEO.
