Citi Singapore extends work from home setup until July

Majority of its 8,500 staff are working remotely.

Citi Singapore is extending its work from home setup for the majority of its staff until July, according to an announcement.

Currently, 88% of its 8,500-strong staff are working remotely and only 12% are working on premises. For those working at home, Citi will reimburse their incremental home internet, WiFi, broadband, or cellular minutes expenses incurred.

Similarly, for staff currently working onsite, Citi will continue to allow them to claim expenses and reimbursements for transport costs and car parking at Citi offices.

The bank’s emphasis on the health and safety of its staff is the key reason for the decision, as well as its ability to maintain productivity.

Staff will return incrementally to the workplace come July under strict Safe Management (SM) measures in line with the Ministry of Health advisory, which includes safe distancing, wearing face masks or full shield, and ensuring that staff won’t mingle with each other during meal times or in common places.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
