Airbnb last month announced it would allow its employees to work from almost anywhere, with no cut in pay. Chesky said at the time the move reflected current sentiment and was intended to retain top talent. While most offices around the country closed during the pandemic, their reopening in recent months has sparked intense debate about how Americans want to work — with many people not wanting to go back to five days a week at the office.
In the interview with Time, Chesky said the answer is flexibility. “The solution is going to be a true hybrid, not three days in the office,” he said. “It’s going to be total flexibility, and then gathering in an immersive way when you need.”
Chesky said the changes will be especially noticeable in younger companies. “Most CEOs are from a different generation,” he said. “Young leaders are going to think quite differently,” adding that he envisions the workplace of the next decade to be more nomadic.
