Flex Work policy
Corporate Policy
Minimum days a week
Corporate employees are expected to go into an office 3 days a week.
Schneider Electric’s Global Flexibility@Work Policy creates a global standard to work from home (WFH) two days a week for all eligible employees, and one day for employees working in distribution centers and plants (Eligibility is based on employee’s role and requirements for on-site work and is determined by country/territory with additional input from managers.
This global standard was introduced in response to feedback in the Group’s 2020 global
employee survey in which a large proportion of employees stated that they preferred a hybrid work model (mix of WFH and “work from office”). The policy addresses hybrid work holistically, providing employees with mental health resources and training on best practices.
The policy also reflects the broader shifts of a global, digital, and ever-changing environment, and contributes to a more agile, inclusive, empowered, and trusting Group culture.
Locations or roles with different office requirements
Are there corporate office locations where there is a different expectation on time spent in the office?
Some examples of Schneider Electric countries raising the global standards with no fixed limit on the number of WFH days are Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Slovakia, Germany, and the UK, operating with a fully flexible, output driven philosophy.
Are there functions or roles where there is a different expectation on time spent in the office?
Some essential roles, e.g., Plant & Distribution Center blue-collar workers, and Field services engineers, due to role specifications are excluded from this two-day WFH policy. Recognizing that many critical roles need to be on site, this policy was adjusted to one day for the eligible Plant & Distribution Center specific roles).
Do you make exceptions to allow full-time remote work?
