Content of measure
In order to face the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic, Norauto was forced to put 40% of its workforce in lay-off and decided to reduce working hours in order to facilitate shifts among workers. As a way to develop strategies to overcome this crisis, the company created three autonomous teams with different objectives:
-
recover the past: projects, processes or tools that have not been yet completed;
-
ongoing projects;
-
thinking about the best way to get out of the present crisis and identifying opportunities during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
All workers in the various departments, including laid-off workers, were involved in the decisions taken due to COVID-19. A telephone line was created to support workers in lay-off, both for administrative matters and for psychological counselling. The intention is to make these workers feeling included, as part of the company.
Use of measure
All workers have been part of the strategic plan to face the COVID-19 pandemic crisis.
