Workplace software company Okta said Thursday it plans to let most of its employees work remotely on a permanent basis, becoming the latest Silicon Valley company to adopt sweeping office policy changes amid the pandemic—and in the face of shifting U.S. immigration policy.
Okta, which provides worker-login software to nearly 9,000 organizations including JetBlue, Nordstrom, and Slack, said as much as 85 percent of its workforce is expected to work remotely under the new policy, up from 30 percent before the coronavirus crisis. The company has roughly 2,600 employees.
