Working from the holiday home or the café?
“Ultimately, it doesn't matter,” says Porsche.
The car manufacturer is planning a small office revolution after Corona.
Stuttgart - Corona is leaving its mark on the German auto industry - perhaps in a positive sense: The sports car manufacturer Porsche is significantly changing its work rules: It wants to give employees more opportunities for mobile working.
In a few years there might not even be a separate desk for every employee.
In the future it will be possible to work mobile on up to twelve days a month, said a spokesman for the Stuttgart automobile company on Sunday.
The works council and management had come to an agreement, he confirmed in a report in the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
.
Porsche is planning a home office revolution: “technology package” for employees
“It is important to us that we have highly motivated employees,” said Andreas Haffner, Porsche's Chief Human Resources Officer, of the
FAZ
. “Every employee can work when, where and how he wants - of course always within the framework of the operational and legal agreements and as long as the work result is correct. He can sit in the holiday home in Upper Bavaria or in the café next door, we don't really care. ”According to
FAZ
information, a company agreement regulates
the project. With the start of mobile work, Porsche employees are to receive a technology package, including a large screen.
Some areas, especially in production and gastronomy, are excluded from the new agreement, said Porsche.
"But wherever it is possible, it should also be used," said a spokesman.
The agreement was concluded on May 1st.
Until at least the end of June, Porsche employees worked at home five days a week anyway, following an exemption due to the pandemic.
Porsche: Only desks for 60 percent of office employees
As a result, the sports car manufacturer - part of the Volkswagen Group since 2009 - will also change its offices.
Initially, the office space is to be reduced by around a fifth.
By 2025, Porsche only wants to have a classic desk for 60 percent of office employees and only offer temporary workplaces, as Haffner said.
According to the
FAZ
, the company agreement currently
only applies to Porsche AG with around 22,000 employees.
Negotiations are still going on for the subsidiaries, including the plant in Leipzig.
At the Porsche plant in Leipzig there were problems recently: there was a strike.
