At Sunrun, we are adapting to a hybrid-work return to office model, where some of the workforce return to the office while others continue working remotely. ChromeOS devices are our default and used for the majority of our teams at Sunrun. For our return to office plans, we are expanding ChromeOS to other departments because it’s an adaptable and fast operating system that's scalable and cost effective. It meets all our security and compliance industry needs. As we return to the office, we are planning to also restart the Grab and Go programme for employees.

With more and more organisations adopting a hybrid work environment, it’s critical for IT teams to be able to manage their browser deployments easily and efficiently. If you have multiple platforms in your organisation, you can use Chrome Browser Cloud Management in the Google Admin console to manage Chrome browser across your enterprise, at no additional cost. IT teams can easily enrol browsers and start applying policies both on and off-network. And they can centrally deploy and manage extensions to support their distributed workforce.
