Google ‘extends home working and plans flexible work week’

Google staff will work from home until September next year and only have to return to the office part-time in future, according to a report.

An email to staff at parent company Alphabet (GOOGL), seen by the New York Times, reportedly confirmed another delay to their office return as the coronavirus pandemic rages on. Staff were previously due to return in January and then July.

Sundar Pichai, chief executive of Alphabet, is also said to have set out plans to pilot a longer-term “flexible workweek.”
