Google mulls attendance logs, Salesforce tries charity to lure staff to office - reports

Even as remote work remains popular among employees after the pandemic, some companies are looking for ways to get workers back in the office to foster in-person collaboration, according to multiple media reports.
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is mulling adding office attendance logs to employees' performance reviews, the Wall Street Journal reported citing a companywide email from Fiona Cicconi, the firm's chief people officer. It will also send reminders to workers with frequent absences.
Employees can continue using work from anywhere weeks for more flexibility throughout the year. 
The tech giant already has a hybrid work policy in place - employees are expected to work in office three times a week. Cicconi said most employees already adhere to this. 
"We've heard from Googlers that those who spend at least three days a week in the office feel more connected to other Googlers, and this effect is magnified when teammates work from the same location," Cicconi's memo read, according to the report. 
"Our hybrid approach is designed to incorporate the best of being together in person with the benefits of working from home for part of the week," a Google (GOOG) spokesperson told Seeking Alpha. "Now that we're more than a year into this way of working, we're formally integrating this approach into all our workplace policies." 
Meanwhile, cloud computing giant Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) is resorting to charity to bring its employees back to the office, Fortune reported.
Salesforce (CRM) announced an initiative called 'Connect for Good', under which it will donate $10 to a local charity for each day an employee comes to the office during June 12-23. This also extends to remote workers - Salesforce (CRM) will donate $10 when a remote employee attends a virtual event. It hopes to raise over $1M through this initiative. 

Salesforce (CRM) did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
