Employees can work from home less than 50% of their workweek or, with manager approval, work from home permanently. Those who choose to work from home permanently will lose their assigned spot in the office but could still use space that's available if they choose to return to the office one day.
With the shift, Microsoft follows tech giants such as Twitter Inc. and Square Inc. that have already made the move.
Microsoft didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from FOX Business.
