To Guarantee Both Pandemic Prevention and Daily Work: Huabao Guidelines on Working from Home

Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic in Shanghai has become increasingly worsening. In this fight against the pandemic, Shanghai has been forced to be on lockdown, but production and work in this city have not been suspended. In order to ensure the normal development and orderly progress of the Company’s work amid the pandemic, Huabao has adopted the mode of “working from home”. Employees work at their temporary “station” - home, using computers, corporate WeChat accounts and telephone to carry out communication and report work.

Advice from Shanghai Mental Health Center (located at No. 600, South Wanping Road, Xuhui District): Don’t be too hasty and careless about your appearance and daily schedule while working from home. In your deep heart, you should have expectations, unshackle your mental pressure, be self-disciplined and concerned about your dreams. Huabao has formulated a guideline on how to effectively work from home. Let’s go to read it.

Define working hours and places

Get to/off work on time and dress neatly. Try to match your working hours with those of other colleagues. Try to create office conditions, and get away from the comfort zone, thus devoting yourself to the working state faster, and improving work concentration and efficiency.

Develop a work plan

Make a clear plan and schedule for work to be done. Follow the work plan to arrange the daily work content, and prioritize it, and then make a plan for the next day.

Communicate and collaborate in a timely manner

Communication is especially important when working from home. When working from home, you can call your colleagues by telephone/QQ/WeChat if there is an emergency. We should make full use of voice call, corporate WeChat accounts, online work group and other ways to timely communicate and deal with work tasks. For joint tasks, we should identify the person in charge and the completion date, and follow up the progress in time.

Protect Yourself

During the pandemic, we should avoid unnecessary outing and gathering; wear a mask and maintain social distancing when going out for nucleic acid test; be sure to take good personal protection, wear a mask and disposable gloves whenever possible to reduce the risk of cross-infection when receiving takeout food and express delivery; pay attention to disinfection and protect yourself.

Self-health Management

During the home quarantine, we should also exercise and rest properly and get enough sleep, reduce anxiety, maintain good physical and psychological condition, improve immunity, and reduce the risk of being infected with the virus.

The pause is for a better tomorrow. The short separation is for a better reunion. We hope that Huabao staff will work together to overcome this difficult time and neglect neither pandemic prevention nor work. We hold the firm belief that we will win the battle against the COVID-19 and embrace a better future together.
