This was revealed in an email sent to all employees by Google's chief human resources officer, Fiona Cicconi.

Mr. Cicconi called on employees, ``There is no substitute for gathering in person,'' and indicated a policy of doubling the time to come to work.



According to CNBC, a news site that read the email, Google's 'hybrid work policy' has been revised, and going to the office three days a week will be part of the work evaluation. In addition, it will track the attendance status of the office badge and send reminders to employees who do not always come to the office. “Working three days a week” is the same

policy announced by CEO Sundar Pichai in December 2020 .

Until now, Google has allowed some employees to work completely remotely, but Mr. Cicconi acknowledged that it was ``exceptional,'' saying, ``I work near Google's office. People should consider switching to hybrid work.The office is the place that is most closely connected to the Google community, ”he called for switching to hybrid work.

'Hybrid work is designed to incorporate the benefits of being in person with the benefits of working from home,' spokesman Ryan Lamont told CNBC. As a result, we decided to formally integrate it as a policy for all workplaces.”

In addition, it is reported that Google will introduce a 'desk sharing model' in which multiple employees share one desk in the cloud department in order to reduce office rental costs.
