San Francisco headquarters, and switching to a \u201cremote-first\u201d work policy.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cFor us, remote-first is the concept of putting virtual work and remote participation as priority and the primary way our employees work, with all other means of showing up to work as secondary,\u201d the company said in a statement. \u201cMost importantly, remote-first refers to <em>how<\/em> we work rather than where we work.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       TaskRabbit, the online worker-for-hire company, had more than 250 employees as of 2021, with office hubs in San Francisco; Austin, Texas; and London.<\/p>\n<p>The company said it has surveyed employees a few times a year during the pandemic about the importance of flexibility and maintaining a work\/life balance. Rather than coming into the office regularly, TaskRabbit said it will encourage \u201cteam weeks\u201d in cities with high numbers of employees, where they can come together and bond. \u201cWe focus on results over attendance,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/tech\/article\/taskrabbit-sf-remote-17188335.php\" class=\"icon none\">The San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> first reported the shuttering, and TaskRabbit Chief Executive Ania Smith told the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>paper: \u201cI think the office, the way it has existed pre-pandemic, that kind of construct of an office is no longer here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also see:<\/strong> The Great Resistance is here. Companies and employees are in a battle of wills over returning to the office.<\/p>\n<p>TaskRabbit is just the latest company to move away from the traditional office amid the work-from-home revolution spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis shift from the traditional 9-to-5, office-based model cannot be undone,\u201d a recent <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adpri.org\/research\/people-at-work-2022-a-global-workforce-view\/\" class=\"icon none\">ADP report<\/a> said, adding that a survey it conducted found 64% of employees said they would look for a new job if their employer made them return to the office full time.
