TOKYO -- No employees of Lenovo Japan will commute to their office during the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo under a plan unveiled Tuesday that was devised in response to the anticipated spike in train ridership and road traffic in the capital.
The Japanese unit of Chinese computer maker Lenovo Group will close its offices for 19 days next year from July 23 to Aug. 10. The company's roughly 2,000 workers will get two special days off in addition to the national holidays sandwiching the Olympics, which will take place from July 24 to Aug. 9. They will work remotely on the company's eight business days during the period.
