We took part in this Business Post perspective on remote working particularly in response to the former CEO's remarks. “No doubt that the former CEO’s original comments provoked some anger amongst Google staff and in that sense his clarifications are welcome. There is ample evidence from studies that home or remote working can be just as productive, and in some cases more productive, than in office work. Much of this has to do with the type of work, the employee and the line managers talents. Right now Google in Ireland has a ‘three in and two remote’ policy that has settled down because a lot of line managers are applying common sense and understanding individuals’ circumstances." #google #WFH #remote #hybrid

However, the Outlook also notes that under-delivery in critical infrastructure—such as water, housing, energy, transport, and skills —is constraining the potential for growth in both domestic businesses and foreign direct investment.
