LG Sangsa, Full Remote Work Until the 4th of Next Month... "Preventing the Spread of COVID-19"

"Zero COVID-19 Confirmed Cases and Close Contacts... Part of Proactive Preventive Measures"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] LG Sangsa announced on the 27th that it will implement full remote work until the 4th of next month to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and ensure the safety of its employees.

LG Sangsa stated, "As of the 26th, there are no confirmed COVID-19 cases or close contacts within the company, and no employees are currently self-isolating due to suspected symptoms. However, amid growing concerns about the spread of COVID-19, we have decided to implement full remote work as a thorough preventive measure to prevent further spread and ensure employee safety."

The remote work period starting today may be adjusted or extended weekly depending on the situation. All employees except for the minimum essential personnel required for business operations are subject to this measure. Approximately 340 employees, about 90% of the headquarters staff, will be working remotely under this policy.

Previously, since the 25th, LG Sangsa had recommended remote work for all pregnant employees and those who need it due to reasons such as caring for children in elementary school or younger. For employees unable to work remotely, measures such as shift work and flexible working hours have been implemented to reduce workplace density, and the use of public transportation during peak commuting hours has been minimized.

An LG Sangsa official said, "The full remote work implementation is a proactive measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure employee safety. LG Sangsa utilizes IT work tools such as cloud PC systems, mobile offices, and video conferences, enabling work from anywhere, so there should be little difficulty in performing work."

Meanwhile, LG Sangsa has been operating an emergency response team since January 28th in relation to COVID-19. Additionally, the company has established and is operating company-wide response guidelines including ▲ banning business trips and visits to domestic and international high-risk areas ▲ implementing remote work and reduced working hours for employees at business sites in high-risk areas depending on the situation ▲ minimizing all business trips, site visits, and movements within business sites.
