Google adds limits to 'Work from Anywhere' policy that began during Covid

Google is tightening its Work from Anywhere policy, originally implemented during the Coronavirus pandemic, signaling a shift in remote work strategies post-COVID.

• Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, announced the new restrictions on remote work during the Bloomberg Tech conference on June 4, 2025, in San Francisco, California.
• The Work from Anywhere policy, which allowed employees flexibility during the Coronavirus pandemic, is now facing limitations as Google seeks to bring employees back to the office.
• This change reflects a broader trend among tech companies reassessing remote work policies as they adapt to post-pandemic business environments and team dynamics.
