Tech giants Facebook and Google will let employees work from home until the end of the year, they have confirmed.

Google had originally said it would keep its work from home policy in place until 1 June, but has extended it for those who can work remotely.

Facebook said it would reopen its offices on 6 July, but that employees can continue to work from home until the end of 2020 if they wish.

As lockdowns are gradually lifted and offices reopened, companies are faced with the dilemma that not everyone wants to return straight away. Having had a taste of working from home, many are keen to continue doing so.

This could suit some companies while they are busy redesigning office spaces with new social distancing measures.
