US tech giant Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook shared that employees doing work from home won't return to office until June. The CEO  shared this new details on the company's plan to return to the office during a virtual town hall meeting with employees on Thursday.

Cook said it that the majority of teams won't be back before June 2021. Apple  has historically had an office-centric culture, but the CEO implied that the company's success this year during the pandemic lockdown could enable more flexibility to work remotely in the future.

Still, Cook has been adamant publicly about his desire for staff to ultimately return to the office. He told staff, "There's no replacement for face-to-face collaboration, but we have also learned a great deal about how we can get our work done outside of the office without sacrificing productivity or results." The CEO that because of the challenges of recent months, Apple will be giving employees in many regions an additional paid holiday scheduled for Jan 4. Other companies, including Alphabet Inc.'s Google, have also given staff an extra paid day off recently.
