Why RPI matters…
Why are things so tough?
No Mr Buberl!
Last week the four trade unions representing employees in AXA Belgium issued a newsletter expressing their dismay at AXA Group’s unilateral decision to make colleagues across the world work a minimum of three days in the office per week, regardless of local business requirements. Unite in AXA in the UK fully support our Belgian colleagues and we have translated the newsletter and reissued it to express our solidarity with the demand that Group in Paris reconsider the decision.

Clarification on smart working comms…
On 31st July the company issued a communication to all People Leaders on Smart Working. The message within was to be cascaded to all employees.
Unfortunately it appears that this has not have been the case with a number of employees not hearing the message.
Further in a number of cases when Leaders have cascaded the message they have done so incorrectly, having misunderstood the contents.
To help clarify matters, the message from the UK&I Leadership Team was:
- The current expectation of 40% (two day) office attendance remains in place.
- The ‘majority of time’ rule, averaged over 12 months, which was to come into place from 1st September, is now not happening.
- At some point in the future, when all sites have the capacity to accommodate it, the expectation will move to an average of 60% (three day) office attendance (the period attendance will be averaged over a period to be confirmed).
Hopefully this helps alleviate any confusion, if you have any questions regarding the above, please speak to your local union rep.
