Nokia Corp. said Tuesday that all employees will have the choice
to work remotely for up to three days a week from Jan. 1, 2022.
The telecommunications and consumer-electronics company said
that in addition to strengthening flexible working practices, it
also plans to rethink and redesign office spaces to better reflect
post-Covid working arrangements and support collaboration.
"The pandemic forced organizations to change... Technology gave
people the tools to innovate. In many cases, the results have been
too good to go back to the old way of doing things." said Chief
Executive Pekka Lundmark.
Many of its sites will see up to 70% of office space allocated
to teamwork and meetings, with less reserved for concentrative
workspaces.
Some pilot sites, including offices in Dallas, Singapore and
Budapest, have already been reconfigured, with further sites
expected to be completed by the end of the year, it added.
Nokia's existing Covid-19 work from home policy remains in
effect globally until the end of 2021.
At the end of 2020 the company had around 92,000 employees in
130 countries.
