Canadian e-commerce giant will allow its 5,000 employees to work from home indefinitely

Shopify Inc. will allow its 5,000 employees to work from home indefinitely, even after the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic fade and cities lift shutdowns.

Lutke said he would “absolutely” feel comfortable allowing Shopify employees to work from home permanently. That follows a similar plan from Twitter Inc. last week. Banks such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. and are also reducing office capacity, at least in the short-term, as they try to maintain physical distancing in the wake of the pandemic.

Shopify shares hit a record on Thursday, climbing as much as 3.5 per cent to US$804.94 in New York. Its shares have almost doubled this year, benefiting from the shift to online shopping through the pandemic.
