Seems there is a competition among Microsoft, Google and Amazon on who will be the leader in the Work from home concept. Amazon says, it will let corporate employees work from home through June 2021 amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and we will continue to prioritize the health of our employees and follow local government guidance.
The Seattle-based company isn't the only tech giant that has extended the work-from-home option for employees.
Amazon gave the go-ahead Tuesday for employees whose work can be done from home, extending the timeline on a return to the office as cases of the virus are surging throughout the U.S.
“We continue to prioritize the health of our employees and follow local government guidance,” an Amazon spokeswoman told Bloomberg. “Employees who work in a role that can effectively be done from home are welcome to do so until June 30, 2021.”
The move by Amazon comes roughly three weeks after the company said that more than 19,000 of its front-line U.S. employees or 1.44% of its total workforce have either tested positive or have been presumed positive for COVID-19.
Amazon has invested significant funds and resources to keep those who choose to come to the office safe through physical distancing, deep cleaning, temperature checks, and by providing face coverings and hand sanitizer.
