JTI's New Ways Of Working redefines where and how work is done
PR90521
GENEVA, July 8, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
Latest measures include working 50% remotely
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 work-life 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.
The launch of the latest NWOW guidance further underpins JTI's belief that
investing in its talent is a vital part of achieving success. The company's new
model caters to all aspects of employees working lives, their wellbeing and
mental health, technology requirements, business travel and, importantly, the
JTI culture. It follows the successful launch in January of the company's
pioneering equal family leave policy,
[https://www.jti.com/jti-announces-new-equal-family-leave-policy ] which offers
a minimum of 20 weeks fully paid leave to all new parents globally.
"We recognize the responsibility we have to do all we can to support our
employees, and that being happy and content in how they balance their work and
personal lives will serve everybody for the better. We understand the
importance of flexibility and the need to be agile, which is why our new policy
is intended to be evolutionary, and with every new learning, we will improve
and refine our approach. As far as JTI is concerned, work is an activity, not a
place or time," said Christiane Bisanzio, Vice President of Diversity and
Inclusion at JTI.
The new policy was rolled out on July 1, 2021 and an additional measure of a
four-day work week will be piloted in the first quarter of 2022 across selected
locations. Further steps are being taken, including close collaboration with
markets, to ensure flexibility is offered to factory and sales teams, including
piloting remote working in mature locations from 2022.
