The pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan is raging. The government announced that it will implement special work arrangements from tomorrow. It is tentatively scheduled to February 2, and the situation will be reviewed at that time.
And most companies in the information technology sector are considering whether to allow employees to work from home. If meetings or meetings with customers are required, video conferences can be used instead. Fang Baoqiao, Honorary President of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, said that some types of work in the industry, including writing computer programs, can work remotely. He went on to point out that in addition to considering employees to work from home, the industry can also follow the example of SARS in 2003, that is, arrange employees to work in batches, because some of the people in the IT department of the bank originally concentrated in one area. Dispersing it to various districts in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories, in the event of unfortunate suspicion, the case must be quarantined for 14 days, and the implementation of relevant arrangements can also minimize the impact.
At the same time, it is suggested that the company can also implement flexible working hours to avoid working in crowded hours to ensure the safety of employees.
