Have your employees been connected to residential internet?

In 2014 BOCRA developed the ‘Connect an Employee’ initiative to ensure universal access to ICT and internet services for all. BOCRA urges the Government and private companies to connect their employees by procuring or subsidizing residential Broadband Internet for them.

Ensure that your employees are connected with at least 10Mbps of internet to enable them to work from home and observe social distancing as required by the Health Regulators. Prices for the 10Mbps range from as little as P599.00, to P1900.00 for other technologies. Please note that all these are published on the BOCRA website.

You can’t afford to close your business because of COVID-19, connect your employees NOW!!!
