Continue teleworking after cancellation of the emergency declaration Daiwa Securities Group Inc. May 22 4:29

Daiwa Securities Group Inc., a major securities company, plans to continue after the declaration of emergency has been lifted for telework, which started with the spread of the new coronavirus. Telework employees can also buy and sell ordered stocks at home, which could change the way the securities industry works.

The Daiwa Securities Group Inc. has been teleworking all employees due to the spread of the new coronavirus.

Of these, approximately 10,000 employees, mainly in the sales department, are provided with dedicated terminals that can handle a variety of tasks such as stock trading orders, opening accounts, and creating materials.

Using this terminal, even employees who were mainly in face-to-face sales can receive orders from individual customers at home and buy and sell stocks, which means that there is no obstacle to telework work.

For this reason, Yamato decided to continue teleworking after the declaration of all emergencies was lifted. At the same time, we are considering revising the evaluation system for employees who continue to work telework.

Seiji Nakata, President of Daiwa Securities Group Inc. “I think it is more efficient to use telework for about 30% in the sales department. I think that while using telework together, we will establish a way of working in the With Corona era. ”
