ING: Free choice of up to 100% telework
ING: Implementación de modelo de teletrabajo 100% libre
Background information
ING has implemented a 100% free telework model, becoming the first large company in Spain to bet indefinitely on this model, which contributes to a more sustainable development, with fewer trips and more work-life balance, in addition to establishing a series of measures for the change to be effective.
Content of measure
ING announced the implementation of a 100% free telework model. The new system is based on principles of flexibility and responsibility so that employees organize themselves in the best way that they consider in regard to their personal life and their work objectives, as well as the needs of their teams.
Its approval comes with a set of measures to facilitate its implementation: for example, setting a limited meeting schedule between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with a duration not exceeding 45 minutes and with a predetermined objective. To guarantee the right to disconnect, it also establishes a restricted schedule for sending emails and calls.
The company assures that the confinement situation derived from COVID-19 has been a test for these measures. Years ago, the company introduced flexible schedule. In this sense, ING ensures that its professionals are already used to taking responsibility and making autonomous decisions, taking into account the coordination of their teams.
Use of measure
The measure covers the 1,400 professionals that the company has in Spain.
