Reading Passage：Company Notice
Subject: Update to Remote Work Policy
To all employees,
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve productivity and work-life balance, NovaTech Solutions will introduce updates to its remote work policy starting July 1.
Employees may work remotely up to three days per week, provided that their job responsibilities can be performed outside the office. Team managers are responsible for approving individual requests and ensuring that team performance standards are maintained.
All employees choosing remote work must remain reachable during regular business hours and attend mandatory meetings either online or in person. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the suspension of remote work privileges.
Further details will be shared through the internal portal later this month. If you have any questions, please contact the Human Resources Department.
