AXA TO OFFER ALL EMPLOYEES REMOTE WORKING BY 2023
French insurer Axa has announced plans to introduce “smart working,” enabling employees to work remotely for two days per week. The smart working strategy will be rolled out at the group’s main entities this year, and all other markets by 2023. Some 70% of employees are expected to be covered by the end of 2021. Axa said the option to work remotely was voluntary and that workers would be supported by training measures, adapted workspaces and IT. Some 90% of employees have told the insurer they would like to increase remote working in the future. “The Covid-19 pandemic has been a tipping point in our working methods,” said Karima Silvent, chief human resources officer of Axa.
