COVID-19 Resurgence... LG Uplus Extends Work-from-Home Until the 28th

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus announced on the 18th that it has decided to implement rotational telecommuting in response to the resurgence of local infections of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

LG Uplus employees will be divided into two groups within each organization and will take turns working from home until the 28th. This applies to employees working in the Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Busan areas. A LG Uplus official stated, "Telecommuting is being implemented to prevent infection and ensure the health and safety of employees amid the spread of COVID-19," adding, "A telecommuting environment that enables real-time collaboration through Cloud PC, in-house messenger, and video conferencing solutions is in place."

Since the end of February this year, LG Uplus has been operating voluntary telecommuting for employees who are pregnant, raising children, or have underlying health conditions due to the impact of COVID-19. Additionally, the FC division, which is the research and development organization, has been implementing telecommuting three days a week for about 300 employees since July.
