The news was first reported by Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n All employees in the Bay Area will be expected to come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in addition to a third day every week that\u2019s decided based on individual teams. Employees have the option of working remotely twice a week. <\/p>\n The news marks the start of Apple\u2019s much delayed hybrid work model, which was announced in June 2021<\/a>. The announcement set off a wave of activism within the company<\/a> as employees protested the return to work. Those protests died down as Apple continued to delay<\/a> the hybrid work model due to the pandemic. <\/p>\n CEO Tim Cook and SVP of software engineering Craig Federighi sent memos to staff, which we\u2019ve included below. <\/p>\n Team,<\/p>\n The early ramp-in phase of our hybrid work pilot has been a great opportunity to come together, reconnect with our teams, and meet new colleagues in person. This has been a transition for many of us as we\u2019ve navigated changing case rates in many parts of the world, so thank you for your teamwork and professionalism as we continue moving forward.<\/p>\n I\u2019m writing to you today with two updates, one about changes we\u2019re making to our hybrid pilot, the other about its timing.<\/p>\n When we announced the pilot a year ago, we said it would be a learning experience for us all. And we committed ourselves to adapting along the way to create a flexible environment that enables our teams to thrive. Based on the feedback and insights we\u2019ve received from you and your managers, we are making the following adjustment:<\/p>\n Teams participating in the pilot will come to the office three days each week with Tuesday and Thursday as set days across the company, but now the third day you come in will be decided by your teams. Each team will work through the decision about which day is right for them, and you\u2019ll hear from your leaders soon. As before, many employees will have the option of working remotely two days a week. Depending on your role, you will also have the option to work remotely for up to four weeks a year.<\/p>\n We are excited to move forward with the pilot and believe that this revised framework will enhance our ability to work flexibly, while preserving the in-person collaboration that is so essential to our culture. We also know that we still have a lot to learn. And we are committed to listening, adapting, and growing together in the weeks and months ahead.<\/p>\n In terms of timing, many locations around the world are in different phases and you will hear more details shortly. For Santa Clara Valley, we plan to begin our new adjusted pilot with all employees in the office three days beginning the week of September 5th.<\/p>\n In the near term, we will continue to navigate the pandemic together as the situation evolves. We are monitoring the data closely and you will continue to receive updates on health and safety protocols for your location as necessary from our COVID-19 Response Team. In the meantime, it\u2019s encouraging that children under five years old are now eligible for vaccination in many countries, and I urge anyone who is able to get a vaccine or a booster to do so if you haven\u2019t already.<\/p>\n As we continue on this journey, I want to say how grateful I am for everything you do. I\u2019ve never been more excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, the impact we can have on the lives we touch, and the outstanding team that makes it all possible. I look forward to working with you to create a flexible environment at Apple where, together, we can make an even greater difference in the lives of our users around the world.<\/p>\n Tim<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Team, <\/p>\n This afternoon Tim sent a note to team members across Apple on our hybrid pilot and return to office plans and I wanted to follow up with how this news will impact our team.<\/p>\n First, a huge thank you. The last few years have presented some real challenges to what we all do, and I appreciate your passion and commitment to creating delightful, amazing, high quality software for our customers and developers across the globe.<\/p>\n After years in limbo (and a couple of false starts) it\u2019s really happening: the week of September 5th marks the true start of our hybrid work pilot in the Santa Clary Valley \u2014 and I personally can\u2019t wait to experience the special energy of having all of us back in the office together again! Note: for all other locations, resumption dates may vary based on current conditions of COVID-19 around the world. You can expect to receive site specific communications soon from the Covid-19 Response Team with timing details for your locale.<\/p>\n As you read in Tim\u2019s note, we are modifying the pilot such that our three days in the office include two days with all of us working together in the office on Tuesday and Thursday (our company-wide days), and one additional in-office day chosen by your team, prioritizing collaboration with your immediate co-workers. Over the coming week please share your input on your team\u2019s third in-office day with your manager. This will help them determine what day works best for the overall team. <\/p>\n Needless to say, this next phase is a pilot, so the one thing of which we can be assured is that we\u2019ll learn a great deal in the months to come. <\/p>\n I\u2019m excited for this next chapter and all that lies ahead. <\/p>\n See you soon!<\/p>\n – craig<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
