        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google employees who don&#8217;t want to return to the office this summer can start shopping for a nice home office.</p><p>The search giant said Tuesday that it will begin letting employees come back to the office beginning July 6, and will gradually ramp up its in-person attendance throughout late summer and early fall. Employees who choose to stay home, the company said, will be allowed to expense up to $1,000 for home office needs like standing desks and ergonomic chairs.</p><p>Google expects 10 percent of employees to return to the office following the July 4 holiday, CEO Sundar Pichai <strong>told employees in a memo</strong>, and aims to have 30 percent of its workforce return from remote work by September.</p><p>In an interview published in Wired Magazine last week, Pichai said that he doesn&#8217;t expect Google to abandon its physical office spaces, which have become famous for the perks they provide employees such as free dry cleaning, meals and work out classes.</p><p>&#8220;In all scenarios I expect us to need physical spaces to get people together, absolutely. We have a lot of growth planned ahead,&#8221; Pichai said. &#8220;So even if there is some course correction, I don&#8217;t think our existing footprint is going to be the issue.&#8221;</p><p>Google&#8217;s announcement comes days after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said half of the social-networking giant’s employees could be <strong>working remotely within the next five to 10 years</strong>, and that Facebook will begin allowing certain employees to work from home on a full-time basis.</p>]]></content:encoded>
