[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Kim Kwang-soo, Chairman of NH Nonghyup Financial Group, visited an alternative workplace related to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) to encourage employees.

According to NH Nonghyup Financial on the 18th, Chairman Kim visited the NH Nonghyup Financial alternative workplace set up in the NH Nonghyup Life Building located in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul on the 17th.

After the government raised the COVID-19 crisis alert to the severe level, NH Nonghyup Financial completed the installation of alternative workplaces along with implementing work-from-home last month to prepare for emergencies such as workplace closures. As COVID-19 prolonged, from the 16th, they have been conducting separated shifts at the alternative workplaces in full scale. About 30% of the holding company employees work at these alternative workplaces.

During his visit to the alternative workplace, Chairman Kim said, "Please do your best to ensure that there are no gaps in work during crisis situations such as workplace closures caused by confirmed COVID-19 cases."
