Next Normal, introduced in the post-Covid era, is based on a flexible and sustainable hybrid work model and principles such as flexibility, autonomy, and empowerment.

For administrative staff, greater flexibility in the scheduling and use of agile working is ensured through remote working days' up to 3 days per week' and 'up to 13 days per month'.

The agreement also expands the provisions on inclusiveness and inclusion, introducing exceptional remodeling of the smart working relationship for caregiver workers, pending the relative certification, and for male and female workers in the first three years of their child's life.

To increasingly guarantee an effective right to disconnection for all personnel, the receipt of company communications outside working hours and within the legitimate causes of absence does not bind the worker to take action before resuming work activities̀, and therefore they will not be required to view and respond to company communications and participate in conference calls, except in cases of particular and proven urgency. A meeting was also scheduled for September 2023 to verify the correct application of the rules.

In light of the continuing energy crisis, the Parties have agreed that the individual scheduling of smart working days shall include Friday each week until 31 March 2024.

Lastly, in addition to the annual lump-sum allowance of €300, a one-off sum of €350 will be paid with the monthly salary of May 2023.
