Subject: Office Renovation Schedule
Dear Employees,
We would like to inform you that the office renovation project will begin next Monday. During this period, some workspaces may be temporarily unavailable. Employees are advised to check the updated seating plan in advance to avoid confusion.
The renovation is expected to last for approximately two weeks. However, the schedule may change depending on weather conditions and material delivery times. We will provide additional updates if any changes occur.
Please note that access to the third floor will be restricted (1) the renovation period. Employees who normally work on that floor are requested to work remotely or relocate to designated areas.
If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the HR Department. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding (2) this time.
Sincerely,
HR Department
