NYK implements work from home for all staff
With Japan expanding a state of emergency to another seven prefectures, the container line has ordered all staff to stay home and banned face-to-face customer meetings. Coronavirus control measures asking companies to reduce office populations by 70% are already in place in Tokyo and three neighbouring prefectures
MOL has previously cut its office population to 30% as the coronavirus backdrop took hold in Japan last year. NYK is so far the only major shipping line to enforce work-from-home moves
