The leadership at Italian telecommunications group TIM (formerly Telecom Italia) penned an innovative agreement with the telecommunications sector trade unions that provides a framework for so-called agile working up to December 2021. The agreement establishes two possible arrangements with varying degrees of autonomy, for use depending on the services and tasks in question. A policy of smart working was already in place at TIM but a change of approach was necessary, partly on account of the desk sharing project that the group is currently implementing, which will see office and work spaces reorganised. The agreement takes into account the agile working guidelines set out by social partners in the telecommunications sector on 30 July.
Agile working and desk sharing. The experimental agreement signed by TIM and the sector trade unions – SLC-Cgil, FISTEL-Cisl, Uilcom and UGL Telecomunicazioni – is valid until 31 December 2021 and applicable on a voluntary basis to employees whose tasks do not require them to be physically present in the workplace. The agreement contains many innovative features. For the employees concerned, signing the individual agreement “implies adherence” to the “new working model based on alternating between the office and agile working”, in other words the desk sharing project set up by TIM, which “guarantees more efficient use of buildings”.
