Subject: Updated Remote Work Policy
Dear Employees,
We would like to inform you of an update to our remote work policy, which will take effect starting next month. This change is intended to improve productivity while maintaining flexibility for our staff.
Employees may work remotely up to three days per week, provided that their job responsibilities can be performed effectively outside the office. Managers will review individual requests and approve schedules based on team needs and performance. (1), employees are expected to remain available during regular business hours.
The company will continue to provide necessary equipment for remote work. (2) Employees who require additional resources should contact the IT department at least one week in advance.
Please note that this policy applies only to full-time employees. (3) Part-time staff should consult their supervisors regarding flexible work arrangements.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the HR team. (4)
Best regards,
HR Department
