Those who apply for the remote working program will be able to work from home starting next month. The company will run the pilot program for a month before deciding whether it should continue and expand the remote working program in the future.
Samsung's employees who work in the mobile and consumer electronics divisions can work remotely, but workers in the company's chip business arm will be allowed to work remotely only after the assessment of the pilot program.
