The coronavirus pandemic has brought a number of challenges, including a rapid movement to transfer employees to remote work. More than 90 percent of Stefanini’s 25,000 employees adopted remote work during this time across its four regions. Although the transition occurred quickly, the company has learned how this model can be effective, creating increased engagement, productivity and reduced cost.
“Throughout this time, our employees have succeeded in their new environment and have risen to the challenge of trying something new,” said Heidi Hagle, VP of People & Culture, Stefanini NA/APAC. “As a result, we are excited to continue implementing remote work models across the company and recruiting new talent that we weren’t able to consider before. We hope to continue to find new ways to adapt to the new norm that expand our possibilities of serving our clients in their journey of digital transformation.”
