Dear Members,

The Government has announced the end of the Circuit Breaker. As a permitted service, we have been allowed to resume operations. Our team looks forward to welcoming you back to our campus on 2 June 2020!

Over the past 2 months, The TWC team has been working tirelessly to make the campus a comfortable and safe space for you to return to.

Some of these new elements we have introduced include:

• Visible signage and wayfinding to indicate safe distances
• Increased frequency and scope of cleaning and sanitization across campus
• Reduced seating in pantries, common areas and meeting rooms
• Provision of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to all members and employees
• Reduced touchpoints in shared spaces such as pantries, toilets, and other common areas
• Installation of touch-free soap dispensers
• Installation of hand sanitizers, sanitizing wipes, and alcohol sprays at common areas
• Creation of a Member’s mobile app (You can find the download link for this in the Resources section)

Additionally, our team is undertaking all the necessary steps to make sure TWC abides by the new workplace regulations issued by the Government. Read more these here.

Safety Management Officers (SMO) have been appointed to spearhead our efforts; to ensure everything is in order and to address any questions. They are:
SMO 1 (Josephine) [email protected]
SMO 2 (Wei Han) [email protected]
SMO 3 (Gobind) [email protected]

Our SMOs have been reaching out via phone calls and emails to let members know if your businesses have been permitted by the Government to resume operations. This is based on your business’s Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) code. You can find out more about SSICs and permitted businesses here.

We will need your help with a couple of things

1. Updating your Personal details by 24 May 2020 by doing the following:
   – Log into your Member’s Portal
   – Head over to My Account
   – Fill in your Personal Details (especially the address & contact number)2. Updating us on your company’s safety measures. Please refer to our email dated 22 May for these details. If you have not received our email, please let us know at [email protected].

More details about the new measures being put in place to keep the TWC campus and community safe will be included in a Return to Campus Guide that will be emailed to you. A virtual town hall will also be organised prior to our re-opening.

If you have questions regarding returning to campus, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any of our SMOs.

Once again, we thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult period. Keep healthy, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Dear Members,

In light of the government’s decision to extend the circuit breaker period, we will be complying with recommended safe distancing measures beyond the initial 4 May deadline and will subsequently extend our revised campus protocol until 1 June 2020.

What does this mean for Members?

● Members will still need to abide by safe distancing measures.

● The Campus will remain operational for members and companies who have been granted exemption by the relevant government agencies.

● Members with status updates regarding their exemption status should notify us at [email protected] so that we can facilitate your access and support your presence on Campus.

● The Working Capitol Team will continue to update members on this webpage.

● Given the extended circuit breaker period, we will be offering a complimentary mail forwarding service for the month of May. Our team will be reaching out to your nominated point of contact shortly to get your preferred forwarding address. If you did not hear from us over the next 3 days, please reach out to us at [email protected] to update us with your preferred forwarding address. (*Only for regular size letter mail. Large parcels will incur a handling & postage fee.)

Rental Relief

The Working Capitol is committed to supporting you through during this difficult period by offering immediate relief wherever possible.

As we have yet to receive any form of reliefs from our landlords, the relief measures we are extending has come from team salaries and vendor cutbacks. While this has been challenging for our team and the other businesses we support, we hope that by doing this now, we can all come out of this situation together.

We have approached this relief package by balancing our empathy and compassion for our community while also safeguarding the sustainability of our business.

We will continue to persevere as we work hard to support you and your businesses to the best of our ability.

What about my May rent?

● Members will be granted an additional 15% or 20% discount for the month of May in the form of rental credits

● This is in addition to the 15% or 30% previously announced, which will still be applicable. Therefore,

• Members who previously received 30% will now get an additional 20% discount for a total of 50% in rental credits for the month of May.

• Members who previously received 15% will now receive an additional 15% discount for a total of 30% in rental credits for the month of May.

●  All members who signed up with us before 31st March 2020 will also be credited an additional month at the end of your tenancy to offset the month of April.

● Members in distress who require additional support should reach out to us by contacting our sales team at [email protected] and completing the form here. We will be in touch with you within 5 working days from receiving the form submission.

In the meantime, we stand in solidarity with all our members.

Stay positive, stay strong and stay healthy,

TWC Team

Dear Members,

We would like to update you on the new measures announced by the Government on 3rd April 2020, and are committed to working with you towards a sustainable solution as we walk the path of recovery together.

For those of you who have reached out to us, please be assured that your emails have been received and are currently being reviewed by our senior management.

Dear Members,

This is a precautionary update.

Our upmost concern these days is to safeguard our community and campus as we all weather these uncertain times. In the spirit of transparency and safety we would like to share this update out of an abundance of caution.

We were informed recently that 2 of our members may potentially have been in contact with a confirmed case at a fitness event last week.

Our team has been in touch with these members and we would like to share the facts of the incident below:

• The members have not tested positive for the virus and have displayed no symptoms.
• The event organisers informed our members out of extra precaution.
• The members have not been contacted by the Government.
• The members were last seen at 1 KS on the 11^th(Wed) to 13^th March (Fri) as they were only notified of the potential contact over the weekend.
• Our team has notified all members who have been in contact with said members.
• Said members have been in self-isolation at home after they were notified by the event organiser.
• We have been in regular contact with the these members to monitor the status of their health.

On our part:

• We will continue to conduct daily temperature checks at 1KS’s Reception.
• We are deferring all non-essential travel and advise against any unnecessary personal trips overseas.
• We have increased the frequency of the cleaning of common areas and bathrooms across the Campus.

We have no reason to believe we have any case or contamination at our Campus, but as an added measure, we have engaged an NEA-approved service provider to deep clean and disinfect the common areas.

We would like to at this point remind everyone to practice proper hygiene. Please take care of yourselves and each other and remember to be kind and calm as we all get through this together.

Should you prefer to fill up our declaration form on your personal device, you can access it here. Please note that our front desk team at 1 Keong Saik Road will still need to verify the information you’ve provided.
