COVID-19: Twitter allows staff to work from home ‘forever’

Social media giant, Twitter has told staff that they can work from home “forever” if they wish as the company looks towards the 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 choose 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.”

The announcement has been described as “an era-defining moment” by one digital innovation expert.
