Stuttgart The sports car manufacturer Porsche is significantly changing its working environment and giving employees more opportunities for mobile work. 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 accordingly, he confirmed in a report in the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”.
“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 the FAZ, 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 a pandemic-related exception.
As a result, the sports car manufacturer will also change its office world. 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 works 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.
