When the pandemic hit, we responded quickly at Palo Alto Networks with an employee choice program we called FLEXWORK. We empowered our people to decide what they needed to work productively in this moment – while meeting their own personal needs and those of their families. That ranged from an entirely work from home model for some, to a hybrid approach for others who wanted it, allowing them to access COVID-safe offices, where local regulations allowed.
Over the last quarter, I’ve been on a mission to sit down (virtually, of course) with as many of our employees as I can to ask them how things are going, what they need, and how we can continue to support them in this new environment. The feedback has been tremendous. Colleagues told me frankly what’s helped them stay productive, and they also discussed challenges they anticipate for the long haul.
Based on these sessions and feedback we’ve gathered across the company, I’m excited to announce that we are launching the next phase of FLEXWORK to help all of our global employees stay safe, feel healthy and maintain productivity. As we shared with our employees today, the FLEXWORK program will expand to include a broad range of initiatives – adding flexibility to our benefits, learning and work from home.
We’ll continue to gather feedback as we roll out these initiatives. This is about working with support, trust and flexibility. The results so far make me excited for where we can take this, together.
