MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Furniture retailers might want to offer some shopping incentives to Google employees. The company, which employs approximately 115,000 people worldwide, will be giving every employee $1,000 to purchase office furniture such as an ergonomic chair or desk.
“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,” said Google CEO Sundar Pichai in a blog post. “We’re investing more in the work-from-home setup to make sure Googlers have what’s needed to be productive and comfortable.”
Pichai said that, beginning on July 6, the company will start to re-open buildings so that about 10% of the workforce can return on a limited, rotating basis. Google plans to have rigorous health and safety measures in place to ensure social distancing and sanitization guidelines can be followed.
The company plans to bring back additional employees during the September timeframe on a voluntary basis through the end of the year.
“We continue to study all the data and feedback you’re sharing on your current experience,” he said to employees in the blog post. “I believe that ultimately these insights will lead to more flexibility and choice for employees as they consider how to work in the future.”
