As more and more companies force employees to go back into the office full time, one company is letting staffers make their own choices about where they want to work.
Like the rest of the world, Zillow’s employees were forced to work from home at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the autumn of 2020, company leadership told employees that they would not be asked to return to the office full-time. As a result, hundreds of workers decided to relocate, prompting the company to establish a “CloudHQ” model: the company considers its headquarters to be online, not in one physical location.
