Usthi Team Working From Home Again

After the rapid increase in the number of Covid-19 cases in Switzerland, Usthi has followed the recommendation of the Federal Council and is now working from home again.

The majority of the Usthi team has been working from home again since the 19th of October, helping to minimize personal contacts and the use of public transport, thus protecting people who depend on commuting.

The Usthi team is fortunately used to working remotely. The office has long been set up so that the Usthi documents can be accessed while traveling in India and Nepal. Ideal conditions for working from home. Digital meetings with our partners are part of Usthi’s daily business since the introduction of video conferencing. This is now also the way to exchange ideas within the team.

The Usthi team hopes that the numbers will start to decline soon and considers itself lucky to be able to manage this changeover without major challenges.
