Japanese Tech Company Cutting Office Space In Half
Nikkei Asian Review just reported that Fujitsu will cut their office space in Japan in half over the next three years. Teleworking will be made a standard practice, and Fujitsu has introduced a policy that will limit the number of employees in the office at any one time to just a quarter to its total. Fujitsu has encouraged its 85,000 non-factory employees in Japan to do their jobs from home. In China, “to reduce exposure and risk of transmission, many offices are still conducting meetings virtually, even when they are in the same workspace, rather than gathering in physical conference rooms. In addition, workers are typically bringing their lunch or ordering lunch to be delivered, and eating at their desks instead of dining out in restaurants.” (Source: Ideas by WeWork )
