New employees, such as Sony, are waiting at home for the time being. New Coronavirus March 27 20:36
In response to the spread of the new coronavirus, Sony and Mitsubishi Electric have decided to temporarily wait for new employees to join the company next month.
Sony has decided to telecommute approximately 20,000 teleworkers in Japan.
New employees who join the company on the 1st of next month will be on standby at home for one month. We are considering online training.
In addition, Mitsubishi Electric has been working at home from April 27 for 4,500 employees working at the head office in Tokyo. In addition, new employees who join the company next month will be on standby at home until next month.
NEC and Panasonic are also planning to provide new employees with training at home using a personal computer.
As the use of telework spreads due to the spread of the new coronavirus, it seems likely that a major issue for companies is how to promote education for new employees.
