Airbnb unveils the "Live anywhere, work anywhere" idea, or complete work from home.
A new travel landscape has arisen since the COVID-19 outbreak started. The choice of where to live and work has become more flexible for millions of people. Airbnb has unveiled its strategy for enabling employees to live and work anywhere as well as how they will engage with travel destinations to assist them in drawing in remote workers in response to this trend of increased flexibility.
The "live anywhere, work anywhere" mentality that much of business has been compelled to adopt is being fully embraced by Airbnb, which has committed to full-time remote work for the majority of employees as well as a few benefits like 90 days of international work or travel. It's a clear, straightforward strategy that so few significant businesses have had the guts to adopt.
Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky summarised the new policy in five points in an email to staff that was published on the company blog, as well as in a Twitter thread for those who can't be bothered:
Working from home or an office is an option.
Your pay will be the same regardless of where you work in the country.
You have the freedom to work and travel anywhere on the globe.
We'll arrange regular get-togethers.
We'll keep up our well-coordinated effort.
All employees have the option to work from home, with the exception of "a small number of roles" for which being present in an office or location is necessary (and who likely already know this).
As per the company, as long as the employee remains within the nation, their pay won't alter if they decide to move.
Numerous businesses have released draught policies with the intention of revising them after a few months. The "hybrid" or "flex" model, in which workers work from home the majority of the time but occasionally come into the office, is a hot topic.
This might be the best of both worlds or the worst of both worlds, depending on where and how you work. However, it does imply a certain lack of decisiveness on the part of the leader.
Maybe Airbnb will serve as the test subject for this specific form of "totally remote workplace," and the other businesses will be watching and waiting to see if the company trips over some significant new tax burden or productivity issue. However, the policy's clarity and adaptability, international law restrictions notwithstanding, may outweigh any new troubles it creates.
