Subject: Update on Company Parking Policy
Dear Employees,
Due to the increase in the number of staff members, changes will be made to the company parking policy starting August 1.
Employees who currently use the parking lot are required to register their vehicles again using the updated online form.
(1), only registered vehicles will be permitted to enter the parking area.
The registration form can be accessed through the internal portal and must be completed by July 25.
(2), employees who fail to register by the deadline may lose parking privileges temporarily.
To accommodate staff members who do not drive, the company will also provide additional bicycle parking spaces near the main entrance.
(3) This improvement is expected to reduce congestion during peak hours.
If you have any questions regarding the new policy, please contact the General Affairs Department.
Thank you for your cooperation.
(4)
Sincerely,
General Affairs Team
