Visa allows employees to work from home for the rest of 2020

In the wake safety concerns due to COVID-19, Visa Inc. the global payments network, has allowed the majority of its 20,000 employees to work from home for the rest of the year.

 

"The safety and well-being of Visa employees continues to be my top priority. As a result, I expect a majority of our workforce will continue to work from home through the 2020 calendar year," Visa Inc. CEO Alfred Kelly Jr. wrote in a LinkedIn post.

 

Another reason for encouraging remote working is that the move will contribute towards decongesting transit systems and roads amid concerns about social distancing.

 

"We are fortunate the majority of Visa employees can work safely from home while continuing to support our clients effectively. Unfortunately, there are tens of millions of people who can''t work from home, for whom not showing up to work means not getting paid," Kelly asserted.

 

"It simply seems wrong for Visa employees to be crowding transit systems and roads when we have the flexibility to both continue full business continuity while working from home. Those who have to get to their place of work to receive a paycheck should have priority use of socially distanced transit," he added.
