TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The provincial government of Jakarta issued a circular letter urging private companies in the city to implement a work-from-home policy (WFH) during the 43rd ASEAN Summit next week on September 4-7, 2023.

"[Companies] to apply a combination of work-from-home and work-from-office based on the type and nature of the job during the preparation and commencement of the 43rd ASEAN Summit," said the head of Jakarta Manpower, Transmigration, and Energy Office Hari Nugroho cited from the circular letter.
