Generali is reportedly looking at a hybrid working model for its employees in the post-Covid-19 pandemic era.

This hybrid working approach involves employees spending time at office and working from home, reported Reuters.

At an online event, Generali CEO Philippe Donnet said: “The model will be hybrid. Our view is (that) a good balance would be 60% in the office and 40% at home. We also believe that it has to be organised,”

The insurer only allowed the staff of some of its units to work from home for few days a week prior to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Donnet added that the hybrid working model “cannot be based only on the (personal) choice of people.”

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic had forced firms across the world to change their work model drastically.

Financial institutions are now trying to explore ways of bringing back their employees to the office.

Last month, financial services company, American Express unveiled its new hybrid work model for its employees.

Under this model, AmEx’s staff will be allowed to permanently work remotely up to two days a week.

In a separate development last month, Generali finalised deals to purchase a majority stake in AXA Affin joint ventures and to buy 100% of MPI Generali to bolster its business in Malaysia.

Prior to that in May 2021, the insurer confirmed plans to launch a €1.17bn buyout offer for rival Cattolica.
