Starting May May 3,600 IEC employees will be allowed to work from home 2 days a week

Starting this May, some 3,600 IEC employees will be allowed to work from home regularly for two days a week. This is according to an agreement signed between the Electric Company, the person in charge of wages at the Ministry of Finance, the Companies Authority and the workers' organization.
According to the agreement, those employees whose work allows it will be allowed to work from home (subject to corona status), when one of the two days will be mandatory and the company's sites will be closed for efficiency reasons. On the other working days of the week, the employees will come to the company's sites, as usual. '
It seems that the hybrid model of working from home at least in part, as many of us have come to know up close in the last two years due to the corona crisis, is becoming a routine in government companies as well and not just in the private sector.
According to the IEC, “The agreement matured after about two years in which the company led pilots to work remotely, examining, learning and implementing changes to produce an optimal model for the needs of the organization and employees.
“The move joins a variety of efforts and processes being made in the company to equalize conditions for the challenging world of recruiting including a work-life balance trend that has become even more necessary and popular as a result of the epidemic.
"This is a move that aims to help position the company as an equal among the major economic organizations that have moved to a permanent work-from-home agreement. The agreement will result in significant savings in resources used so far to operate the sites and limit the number of employees in those spaces."
IEC CEO Ofer Bloch said, “After two years at Corona, we are learning a positive experience. "The pilot not only demonstrated compliance with the company's outputs and goals - but also demonstrated that enabling a flexible employment model that includes remote work and a balance between home and workplace needs - benefits the IEC's business goals, assists us in recruiting and recruiting quality personnel."
