In parallel, the division also implemented a scheme that allows each employee to choose a workstyle that fits their lifestyle. Moreover, in order to solve concerns that are related to teleworking such as establishing and maintaining a stable network environment, adequate communication, and an opportunity to gain skills, transcosmos will fully implement the following measures so that employees will have the same working environment as they have in the office. In addition, transcosmos will thoroughly take preventive measures against Covid-19 when they work in the office.
