Thanks to the agreement, Leonardo will start from 1-June 2018 a pilot project lasting 12 months, addressed - on a voluntary basis and after discretionary assessment of the company - to a first audience of about 200 employees. A gradual expansion of the use of smart-working is envisaged following a continuous dialogue with the trade unions and monitoring activities on the results of efficiency gains achieved.
With the start of the smart-working project, Leonardo faces a decisive path in the digital transformation process, as indicated in the 2018-2022 Business Plan.
