Due to the Resurgence of COVID-19, Kakao Initiates Company-wide Remote Work

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] As the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) resurges, Kakao has shifted to a company-wide work-from-home system.

A Kakao official stated on the 19th, "To prevent the spread of COVID-19, all employees at headquarters have started a five-day-a-week work-from-home system." However, the duration of the work-from-home period has not yet been determined. Kakao plans to monitor the situation before making a decision.

Naver has been maintaining a "rotational work system" since the 19th of last month, working from home three days a week and coming to the office two days a week.

Meanwhile, major game companies busy preparing new releases are monitoring the situation but mostly continuing normal work. NCSoft and Netmarble employees are commuting as usual, and Nexon is maintaining its policy of coming to the office four days a week and working from home one day a week. However, changes may occur depending on the spread of COVID-19.

An NCSoft official said, "There is no change in the work system following the upgrade to level 1.5, but we are strengthening internal quarantine guidelines and monitoring external circumstances."
