Sundar sent the following email to Google employees earlier this morning. The email has been edited to remove internal links. Hi everyone, I hope you are all taking good care. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve put the wellbeing of our Google community front and center.
We’ve done this while also taking care of our customers and partners, launching over 200 new products and features to help people and businesses navigate this difficult time. In March of 2020, we made the early decision to send employees home to slow down the spread of COVID.
Since then, we’ve extended our Carer’s Leave coverage to help employees care for loved ones. We’ve continued to cover the full wages of on campus workers who couldn't perform their jobs because of office closures. And, we’ve made sure that Googlers and our extended workforce have access to vaccines as soon as they are available locally.
Additionally, thanks to the generosity of Googlers and support from Google.org, we've helped Gavi to fully vaccinate over 1 million people in low-and middle-income countries globally. Even as the virus continues to surge in many parts of the world, it’s encouraging to see very high vaccination rates for our Google community in areas where vaccines are widely available.
This is a big reason why we felt comfortable opening some of our offices to employees who wanted to return early. And I have to say it’s been great to see Googlers brainstorming around whiteboards and enjoying meals in cafes again in the many offices that have already re-opened globally.
Getting vaccinated is one of the most important ways to keep ourselves and our communities healthy in the months ahead.
