The social media giant's new "office deferral
programme" will ensure that its employees have flexibility in returning
back to offices, Meta said.
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, said it will also stick to
its earlier plans that employees who can work remotely can request for
full-time remote work.
"We recognise that some employees aren't quite ready to
come back. We continue to offer a variety of options to choose what works best
for them, so our employees can make informed decisions about where they
work," said Janelle Gale, vice president, human resources of the company.
Meta's decision comes at a time when many companies in the
United States are pushing back their office return date due to concerns over
the rapid spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant.
Alphabet's Google last week indefinitely delayed its January
return-to-office plan globally amid growing concerns over the Omicron variant
and some resistance to company-mandated vaccinations.
In its statement, Meta said it was "closely
monitoring" the situation around the Omicron variant. The company
currently requires all its US employees coming to office to be vaccinated
against the coronavirus. © Reuters
