Twitter has told staff that they can work from home “forever” if they wish as the company assesses its future after the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision came as the social media giant said its work-from-home measures during the lockdown had been a success. But it also said it would allow workers to return to the office if they want to when it reopens.
Earlier this month, Google and Facebook said their staff can work from home until the end of the year.
Twitter said: “The past few months have proven we can make that work. So if our employees are in a role and situation that enables them to work from home and they want to continue to do so forever, we will make that happen.”
Twitter’s blog added that for those who want to return to Twitter’s office the company “will be their warm and welcoming selves, with some additional precautions”.
The San Francisco-based company employs more than 4,000 people across its global offices. It has allowed employees to work from home since March and have decided to reopen its offices probably in September.
