FUJITSU EMBRACES TELEWORKING富士通 働き方を見直し

Fujitsu is embracing the new normal for working conditions in Japan prompted by the pandemic.
The tech firm says "work from home" will become standard practice for about 80,000 domestic employees.
Fujitsu will also stop the practice of job transfers that can result in employees living away from their family.
The changes will go into effect later this month.
The company says it will no longer give out allowances for commuter passes.
Instead, employees will receive about 46 dollars a month to set up a remote work environment.
The new policies do not apply to factory employees.
Fujitsu plans to slash office space in Japan by half over the next three years.
It will also increase its satellite offices throughout the country.
Corporate Executive Officer Hiramatsu Hiroki says the company wants to implement a way of working that doesn't burden the lives of employees.
