This is the best summary I could come up with:
The business review platform went remote like many other organizations when the pandemic hit, but unlike so many others, it stayed that way and introduced a remote-first policy in 2021.
Last year, the total number of job applicants was 43% higher compared to 2021, according to Yelp’s 2024 Remote Work Report released earlier this month.
Flexible schedules have also facilitated a healthy work-life balance—about 89% of the company’s workers say they can manage personal and professional demands, and the same amount say that the remote model has allowed them to make positive changes for their wellbeing.
“Anecdotally, employees have told us that Yelp’s remote posture has allowed them to spend more time with their children, take up new hobbies and live closer to friends and family—all of which we believe significantly contribute to overall happiness,” says Amara.
The company says it’s using the money it saved from shutting down its underutilized offices in New York City, Chicago, and Washington D.C., to funnel back into employee benefits, professional development, and wellness reimbursements.
Klarna’s OpenAI chatbot can do the work of 700 full-time employees and handles duties for 150 million clients, completely altering the company’s hiring needs.
