Zillow Joins The Growing Ranks Of Companies Offering Employees The Option Of Working Remotely ‘Indefinitely’

Lately, working from home has become a priority for many professionals. With growing concerns over whether the schools will be open or not, worried parents are panicked on how they could juggle commuting and working at an office, while their children are left at home unattended.

With this in mind, Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, wrote an email to his employees stating,"To give employees the ability to plan ahead, we are extending our global voluntary work-from-home option through June 30, 2021, for roles that don't need to be in the office. I hope this will offer the flexibility you need to balance work with taking care of yourselves and your loved ones over the next 12 months.

This trend has an array of mutual benefits for both the workers and corporate management. As schools are either closed or have split schedules, parents can now be at home and attend to the care and education of their children without the stress of going into the office five days a week. Job seekers may now send out résumés and interview anywhere in the United States, as remote work has become an acceptable standard practice.

Corporations will save a large amount of money by not having to rent large office spaces in pricey skyscrapers—based in overcrowded, high-taxed cities. The environment will benefit with less commuters driving and taking the bus to and from work. With less people coming into the office on a daily basis, companies can appropriately manage the Covid-19-related health risks more efficiently and effectively.

With all of the positive attributes of this movement, barring any major changes, the remote, work-from-anywhere trend looks like it will keep gaining momentum.

Everyone working from home = savings on renting an office space.
