Google will give electric scooters to employees who will return to the office

With the Covid-19 pandemic, many technology giants have turned to the remote working method. This event, which was beneficial for the majority of the employees, caused a very comfortable working environment and then great discussions. Firms such as Apple and Google have long struggled to bring their employees back to the office, but the real decision has not been made. But this week, Google is waiting for its employees in the office.

Google will provide electric scooter service to its employees

Google, which will reopen its offices in the United States this week, will provide electric scooter service so that employees can commute to the office more conveniently. Google has partnered with electric scooter manufacturer Unagi for this program. Apart from the one-time sale, Unagi also offers a scooter subscription for $49 per month. With the program available to most Google employees in the US, Google will pay the monthly subscription fee for the $990 scooters. The Unagi Model One can reach 30 kilometers per hour and has a range of approximately 25 kilometers.

Unagi CEO David Hyman stated that employees are very used to working from home, so companies try to return to the office in the most comfortable and easy way. Remote work/office work issue, which is the subject of discussion especially in the USA, is one of the issues that Google is also dealing with. Spending billions of dollars to expand its structures during the pandemic process, Google continues to offer extra bonuses to see employees back in the office. Unagi stated that he is working on similar projects with many companies other than Google. Let’s see how big companies will be able to return their employees to the office as we approach the end of the pandemic.
