Google在明年9月居家工作结束后，将实行 "弹性 "工作周

在2021年9月之后，谷歌将允许大部分在家工作员工的员工，采取混合模式上班，即办公室工作和远程工作相结合。这种方式的意思是每周至少有三天去办公室，另外两天员工可以选择在家工作。

尤其在美国，疫情没有丝毫减弱的迹象。所以谷歌一再推迟全面重新开放办公室的最后期限：从6月1日，到2021年1月，再到现在的2021年9月。

员工的意愿推动了这一趋势。麦肯锡6月公布的研究显示：五分之四的人倾向于在家工作，41%的人表示他们的工作效率更高。

在美国，不局限于在办公室工作还有其他的好处，比如科技工作者可以从旧金山和纽约等生活成本较高的地区搬迁到更便宜的地方。

Google will allow the majority of its staffers to work from home until September 2021, and the search giant will experiment with a hybrid model that combines office-based and remote working after that. This approach will involve at least three days spent at the office, with employees able to choose to work from home for the other two.

As the pandemic shows no sign of abating, particularity in the US, Google has repeatedly pushed back its deadline to fully reopen offices: from 1 June, to January of next year, and now to September.

This trend is being driven by workers themselves. McKinsey research published in June showed four in five people preferred working from home, with 41 per cent saying they were more productive.

In the US, being unchained from the office can have other benefits, allowing tech workers to relocate from expensive urban areas like San Francisco and New York in favour of cheaper locales.  source
