As part of Vodafone's ‘Future Workplace, project,’ one goal of which is to increase the implementation of smart working within the company, a six-month pilot project has been set up, which is set to start on 14 September and which will seek to test new forms of work, including the potential for employees to benefit from up to three days of remote working per week, i.e. 60% of working time.
Pilot project- Main points. The agreement provides for a pilot plan to be put in place from 14 September that will extend a mixed operations model, (physical face-to-face and remote) to adapt to and fit with the pandemic environment. The text also specifies that the plan ‘may also be able to test future forms of work.’
The pilot plan will operate until 31 March 2021, with the possibility of a six-month extension once 100% of the workforce has been reintegrated, in order to test its effectiveness
