WRITTEN BY : KATE BIRCH
With the arrival this year of the first proper summer since the onset of the pandemic , any HR exec worth their human capital salt is dishing up big on benefits – offering employees everything from unlimited holidays , to shorter work weeks , to workfrom-anywhere policies .
Grant Thornton , PwC and Kellogg ’ s have all unveiled new summer time-off policies ; while Airbnb , Deloitte , KPMG and Yahoo are giving employees the opportunity to work from anywhere .
In a recent letter to Airbnb employees , introducing a work-from-anywhere policy for the “ vast majority ” of staff , CEO Brian Chesky declared that remote working and flexibility would “ become the predominant way that we all work 10 years from now ”.
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
