Paf embraces 100% remote working and option to work abroad

Paf has implemented guidelines enabling its workforce to continue working remotely, even after the pandemic’s restrictions are removed. In addition, employees also can work abroad for up to three months each year.

Addressing the implementation of the flexible regime, Paf CEO Christer Fahlstedt suggested remote working, which has leapt to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic was “part of the future” of employment and something Paf was keen to embrace going forward for its employees.

“The important thing is not where an employee sits, but rather that the job is done well – and for that to happen it is important that you enjoy where you do your work,” Fahlstedt added.

As per the updated guidelines, while employees can continue to work full time at the office, there is an option to opt-in for a hybrid set-up with part-time remote working or in some cases to work 100% remotely.

“The balance between work, leisure and family time is incredibly important to each employee. We believe these new guidelines will provide our employees a better opportunity to find the right balance in their everyday life,” Daniela Johansson, Paf’s deputy CEO and chief responsibility officer explained.

Meanwhile, Paf’s 350 employees hailing from 30 countries now have the opportunity to work from abroad for up to three months annually.

“We have many employees among our staff from other countries who now have the opportunity to work part of the time from their home country. We might also have some employees who would like to try out working from another country,” Johansson added.
