Summary

  • OTE has launched a voluntary, temporary flexible employment scheme under a company collective labor agreement, starting with pilots in its IT and HR departments.
  • The pilot is designed to test the arrangement before any broader adoption, with the company set to evaluate results at the end of the year.
  • That review will determine whether the scheme is expanded beyond the two departments to the rest of the company.
