Google Offers Affordable Hotel Stays Near the Office to Encourage Return to Work

In an effort to encourage employees to return to the office, Google is offering discounted hotel stays at its on-campus hotel this summer. The move appears to be a response to recent criticism the company has faced after amending its hybrid working policy.

Under the “Summer Special” offer, Google employees can book a stay at the on-campus hotel for $99 through September 30. The company touts the deal as a way to facilitate the transition to the hybrid workplace, allowing employees to take advantage of the zero-commute benefit and access to on-site amenities, including eateries.
