Singapore authorities have announced further ease of restrictions on September 23rd 2020 with our COVID-19 situation improving. We can look forward to easing into the following new rules, as we resume more activities with the improvised safe management measures to keep our community safe.

Improvised work arrangement for us to resume collaborative work
<\/b>
\"\"<\/h4>\n

As concerns regarding the impact of extended working-from-home (WFH) periods on productivity and workplace relations rise, more employees are now allowed to return to the office. The following conditions will be enforced to prevent COVID-19 transmission:<\/p>\n

1. Employers are encouraged to stagger reporting times to avoid travel during peak hours.<\/p>\n

2. Employees should only return to the office for up to only 50% of their work time.<\/p>\n

3. For example, employees can work in blocks of different timings or different weeks of the month in the office. For the rest of the time, they can work from home.<\/p>\n

These sorts of hybrid combinations will become the new norm. However, this might also mean that you might want to have your favourite large screen monitor and ergonomic chair in both the office and at home.<\/p>\n

Thinking of buying additional equipment for the new hybrid work-from-home arrangements? Physical stores are still great for WFH equipment shopping as you can try the items. You will know how comfy the chair is, or how clear a monitor can be.<\/p>\n

You can also ask the sales personnel as many questions as you want! Get your items delivered home on the same day with services such as GoGoX\u2019s van and sedan (for smaller\u00a0 monitors and gadgets) delivery service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Official small-scale corporate events to connect and celebrate<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"corporate<\/p>\n

Good news for businesses! Aside from the restriction of non-regulated social gatherings (within or out of the workplace), small scale work-related events are allowed. Examples of small scale work-related events include job promotion and new hire induction ceremonies. Small-group based corporate retreats, seminars, and meetings are also allowed.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t shout \u201cyay\u201d too fast though. It is usually not cost-efficient for event companies to provide services for small event set-ups, especially for food and furniture.<\/p>\n

Since these events are on a smaller scale, you can try renting your furniture and decoration instead. You can buy all your needed items such as gifts and snacks, and get it delivered to you. We have provided some<\/span>\u00a0ideas below.<\/p>\n
