Hugo Boss to adopt mobile working model post-Covid

Hugo Boss has announced it will only ask employees to work from the
office from Tuesdays to Thursdays even after the Covid-19 crisis.

The “Threedom of Work” work model, which will be implemented from
October, will initially be applicable to the approximately 3,200 employees
in the brand’s native Germany whose jobs do not require physical attendance
at the workplace.

Staff will be asked only to work from offices from Tuesdays to Thursdays
and will have the option to work remotely for the remaining days. “The
three core days allow meetings and events to be scheduled more
effectively,” the company said.

The decision was based on an internal survey of some 2,000 employees
which saw more than 90 percent voting in favor for between two and three
days of mobile working a week.

It makes the brand one of the first major companies in the fashion
industry to announce such a move, though it will certainly not be the last.
For many businesses, operations during lockdown have been as effective if
not more so despite offices being closed.

“The survey confirmed what most of us already knew: the future belongs
to tailored combinations of office-based and off-site work,” Jochen
Eckhold, director global human resources at Hugo Boss, said in a statement.
“Our hybrid working model caters to employees’ growing desire for
alternative scheduling and location options. As an employer, we feel it is
our responsibility to accommodate these changing needs.”

The brand also noted the environmental benefits of less commuting, as
well as the added appeal the new model will have for potential
applicants.

The group said it expects the “Threedom of Work” provisions to be
“broadly embraced and widely used, and anticipates that comparable models
will be adopted shortly at its international subsidiaries”. The company
currently employs some 14,600 people in 60 subsidiaries around the
world.
