According to estimates of this company, it will be until January 2021 that they can reopen offices in the US.
However, even after reopening the office as usual, Microsoft employees can still choose to work remotely with the supervisor of their managers, but they will also have to give up the positions at their office.
"The COVID-19 pandemic forced all of us to think, live and work in different ways," Microsoft's head of human resources, Kathleen Hogan, told employees in a statement on the new policy.
We will make it as flexible as possible to support the work of individuals, while balancing our business needs and ensuring our work culture said by Kathleen Hogan.
However, Ms. Hogan also affirmed that there is always value in the staff working together at the office.
Some employees will not be able to enjoy this teleworking policy, including those who work in Microsoft laboratories and those who do the training of other employees.
As of the end of June this year, Microsoft has 163,000 employees, 96,000 of which are working in the US.
