Companies continue to announce their policies regarding work structures. In some cases, organizations opt for a hybrid model that prioritizes onsite work. In others, it’s all about flexibility.
Airbnb’s New Flexible Policy
Airbnb is adopting a “live anywhere, work anywhere” philosophy that allows employees to work remotely full-time and offers many perks such as 90 days of international work and travel.
In an email to employees (posted in the company’s blog) and in a Twitter thread, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky outlined the new policy in five major points:
- You decide where you want to work – from home or the office
- You can move anywhere in the country you work in and it won´t affect your salary
- You can work and travel
- We’ll meet up regularly for gatherings
- We´ll continue working in a highly coordinated way
Chesky also wrote according to Engadget:
“We want to hire and retain the best people in the world (like you). If we limited our talent pool to a commuting radius around our offices, we would be at a significant disadvantage. The best people live everywhere, not concentrated in one area. And by recruiting from a diverse set of communities, we will become a more diverse company. “
