Subject: Updated Remote Work Policy
Dear Team,
We would like to inform you of an update to our remote work policy, effective July 1.
Employees may work remotely up to three days per week with prior approval from their direct manager. Requests must be submitted through the internal portal at least two business days in advance.
Please note that employees in customer support roles are required to work on-site on Mondays and Fridays due to staffing needs. In addition, all employees must be present in the office on the first Monday of each month for company-wide meetings.
This policy will be reviewed after six months to assess its effectiveness.
If you have any questions, please contact the HR department.
Best regards,
Human Resources
