New Policy to Improve Work-Life Balance
The company has announced a new remote work policy that is expected to improve employee satisfaction and productivity. According to HR, one key motivation behind this policy is feedback from the recent staff survey. Many employees reported challenges balancing family responsibilities with long commutes.
Additionally, the company will reimburse a portion of internet expenses for staff members working remotely. However, the policy also specifies that at least two days per week must be spent in the office to maintain collaboration.

I think this is a great step forward. Finally, we can have some flexibility! But I wonder if the reimbursement for internet costs will cover upgraded high-speed plans, or just the basic fees.
User789:
It’s good overall, but I’m concerned about scheduling. My manager already said our team might have to rotate remote days because not everyone can be away from the office at the same time.
