Remote
Working
Mode
By creating a happy and harmonious work environment we have managed to take our client service to another level.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw many companies adopting the remote working model, however post-covid, many companies have reverted to the traditional office working model. STP however, continues to adopt the Hybrid working model.
