Ford Motor says it will begin phasing in a new remote-office work model. The plan is one of the first in the auto industry. It will give tens of thousands of employees the option to continue doing their jobs from home indefinitely. The Dearborn, Michigan-based carmaker announced the new policy during a virtual town hall meeting one year after it sent workers home to wait out the pandemic . The policy will apply to all non-place-dependent workers. The balance between remote and in-person work will depend on the individual employee’s needs and those of their manager.
