Following the announcement by the Governor of DKI Jakarta on June 4, 2020 regarding the decision to extend the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar or PSBB) and enter a transition phase, Dentons HPRP is preparing for a ‘New Normal’. 

Constant Ponggawa, the Managing Partner of Dentons HPRP said, “As part of the Dentons global network, our office is taking preparation for the New Normal in our working environment seriously.  We are applying high-standard procedures to make sure our members and clients are safe.” He continued, “This action is our responsibility and participation to contain the spread of COVID-19. We believe our action will be a benchmark for business in Indonesia in entering the new normal era.”

Having implemented work-from-home since March 18, 2020, our office premises at Wisma 46 – Kota BNI, 32nd and 41st floors, Jl. Jend. Sudirman Kav.1, Jakarta, are gradually becoming active. In preparation for returning our activities to the office, Dentons HPRP is adhering to the WHO’s and the Indonesian COVID-19 Handling Acceleration Task Force’s guidelines on Safe Management in the Workplace. This includes requiring all members to take a rapid test to make sure everybody is safe. The management will continue to observe and provide full support if further tests and treatment are needed.

Setting up the New Normal procedures, Dentons HPRP will strictly apply health protocols in its working environment. We will be cleaning thoroughly and regularly in Dentons HPRP’s office, providing preventive appliances, such as masks for all members, hand sanitizers in various places, and communication devices to reduce direct interactions. We will also be requiring high-risk members to continue working from home. We assure our members and their families at home that their health and safety is very important to us.

Supporting our clients is also a top priority for us. We have implemented a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure not only the convenience of our clients and business partners, but also their health and safety in this challenging situation. Lawyers will continue communicating with clients regularly through many virtual meetings and remain fully contactable via email and direct lines. 

Dentons has also developed a comprehensive, regularly updated COVID-19 hub, which houses a wealth of resources to help navigate the ongoing challenges during this difficult time. We invite you to access this hub for further insights.

“We wish everyone a safe and steady transition back to office working,” Constant concluded.
