People's daily lives appear to be slowly going back to normal now that the COVID-19 state of emergency has been lifted across the country. Schools reopened at the beginning of June, and companies that urged employees to work from home are reviewing and exploring new styles of work as big urban centers brace for a second wave of coronavirus infections.
Are companies going to continue with their new styles of work such as working from home and online meetings, or are they going back to their conventional ways of work?
Some companies such as Hitachi said they will adopt new working styles (such as working three days a week at the office and two days from home) supported by a new evaluation system. NTT, Fujitsu and Pfizer also plan to let their employees work from home. Some tech firms such as Facebook will allow their workers to work from anywhere for the next few years.
