Geneva, July 8, 2021 – JTI has left the traditional office-based culture of presenteeism behind to give its employees the flexibility to work up to 50% of their time per month away from the office, benefit from flexible core hours, and work up to 10 days abroad, among other New Ways of Working (NWOW) measures which redefine where and how work is done.
Following the success of remote working during the pandemic, JTI has built its new working model around four core elements: greater FLEXibility in ways to work, LEAD with more autonomy, LIVE a more balanced work-life blend and BELONG at JTI - regardless of if one is based in an office, factory or operates in the field.
“Like most people working today, and even before the pandemic hit, achieving more of a worklife balance has been a key priority for our employees. Flexible working and the ability to work abroad for up to 10 days per year, are the latest examples of measures to help every employee feel empowered to strike that balance. Performance and outcomes are what matter here, not hours spent in the office,” said Howard Parks, Senior Vice President of People and Culture at JTI. [...]
