Like other companies, Square Enix has also begun to clamp down on the problem everyone is trying to avoid, the coronavirus. Considering that the virus is transmitted quickly and easily, currently the best thing to do is work from home being isolated of everything that can directly affect the state of health. This is what Square Enix has offered its employees in order to ensure that they stay safe in their homes and that no inconvenience happens as it happened with Nintendo of America.
In the official website of the companySquare Enix CEO Phil Rogers has released an important statement for both employees and video game fans coming out soon. Here he talks about how they will deal with the present problem It is affecting the industry in different ways and explains how work will be carried out from home.
“We have been following the health and safety guidelines established by regional government health officials for the past few months, and in February we restricted national and international business travel and began limiting visitors to our offices and studios. At the same time, we began working across the SQUARE ENIX organization in Asia, Europe, and America to prepare for employees to work from home. Our IT teams augmented our remote work systems, including the implementation of VPN and technology updates that enable remote work for our study, development, and business operations. We have now implemented work-from-home policies in all locations and where remote work is not possible, we have reduced office density and introduced staggered work times, especially to avoid peak consumption hours. ”
In the statement Square Enix states that have been organizing since February to offer this option to employees with the intention of maintaining their proper confinement. On the other hand, those works that in no way can be done through the digital medium, have had time reductions and have implemented all the health and safety guidelines so that they do not suffer from any contagion.
