Many states are bringing back restrictions amid increasing Covid-19 cases in the US. And many workers continue to work from home.

Amazon on Wednesday extended its work-from-home policy for employees through Jan. 8 from its previous end date of Oct. 2, Business Insider reported. It affects those who have roles that allow them to work from home.

Twitter in May allowed employees to work from home indefinitely.

As a result this week’s staffing word of the week is “telecommuting.”

The definition of telecommuting and other workforce ecosystem terms is available in SIA’s Lexicon, a free online resource for staffing companies.
