The Chief Executive Officer of Airbnb has announced that the employees could now choose to work from remote locations forever. On Thursday, while announcing the permanent flexible-working plans, CEO and founder Brian Chesky in a Tweet, said, "Today, we're announcing that Airbnb employees can live and work anywhere.” In an email to the staff, the CEO told that under this policy, the majority of staff will be given the flexibility to choose to work from where "they're most productive". Other than this it also includes the choice to work from anywhere within their home country, without a loss of pay.

Other than this, from the month of September, employees of Airbnb will also be able to spend up to 90 days out of their home country. However, for this, they will still be required to have a permanent address for tax purposes. According to the email, they will also be responsible for organizing authorization from respective local governments. The CEO in a statement said, "Our business wouldn't have recovered as quickly from the pandemic if it hadn't been for millions of people working from Airbnbs.
