Tillitsvalgt i DNB: Frykter hjemmekontoret forsvinner
Morten Bakkelund sier at de ansattes innspill ikke ble hørt da DNB-ledelsen bestemte seg.
DNB has decided to alter its remote work policy, potentially reducing the flexibility of working from home. Employees are now required to individually negotiate remote work agreements with their managers. Morten Bakkelund, a DNB representative from the Fintech trade union, stated that the trade unions have been involved in the process, but their input was only partially considered.
Kommunikasjonsdirektøren, Liselotte Lunde, acknowledged that while they had good dialogue with the elected representatives, their input wasn't fully incorporated into the decision-making process. The new rule, known as the 3+2 arrangement, mandates that employees spend three days in the office and have two remote work days. Bakkelund acknowledged that they weren't necessarily willing to maintain the 3+2 structure at any cost, but the significant change is perceived as being too drastic.
He highlighted that many employees fear the new policy will make it difficult to secure a remote work arrangement, as it could be deemed acceptable only for special occasions. A recent survey by the Norwegian Employers' Confederation revealed that 40% of employers with remote workers have changed their stance on remote work in the past year, preferring employees to work less from home.
DNB has emphasized maintaining a positive work environment, collaboration, and learning as key priorities.
