HUGO BOSS has announced that it will adopt mobile working after the Coronavirus crisis. Remote working will remain a central feature at HUGO BOSS, with the group in October launching a hybrid programme entitled Threedom of Work, which provides for a mix of office-based and mobile working. This makes HUGO BOSS one of the first companies in the fashion industry to establish telecommuting as a standard.

The Works Council and Managing Board have already resolved to implement the new work model. It will be available initially to the approximately 3,200 employees in Germany whose jobs do not require physical attendance at the workplace. The concept provides for three days on-site from Tuesdays to Thursdays, with employees free to choose their location on the remaining two days of the week. The three core days allow meetings and events to be scheduled more effectively, and also help foster the corporate culture.
