Ringier extends home office arrangements to all Swiss locations
Ringier Switzerland is extending the directive issued on Monday to all Swiss sites and subsidiaries. Employees whose activities require them to be on site will be deployed in split mode.
On Monday, the company announced that journalists from the Blick editorial team, who are not dependent on the infrastructure in the newsroom and therefore do not necessarily have to be on site, will work from home until further notice. (Werbewoche.ch reported). The prevention measures extended on Tuesday are intended to provide employees with the best possible protection against infection with the coronavirus. In addition, public transport should also be relieved.
Consistent implementation would also avoid possible quarantine situations resulting from mostly harmless suspicious cases, which would further unsettle the employees concerned.
For the international Ringier companies in a total of 18 other countries, this directive has the status of "recommendation" and will be implemented on a country-specific basis. (SDA/swi)
