The smart work imposed by the emergency Coronavirus the organization of work in companies is changing, especially the largest ones. The measures to contain the pandemic, and the need to suddenly have all the employees at home who could continue to perform their functions even without going to the office, has forced companies to rethink the activity, even structurally. While waiting to see what the long-term effects of this change will be, even with the return of the summer holidays, most of the employees of Rome’s large companies will continue to work from home. With companies where the agile mode reaches peaks of more than 90% of employees who can carry out their business without going to the company. In short, counting the public, less than half of the workers will return to the office but in large companies the percentage of those who will remain at home will be much higher.
The Public Administration has also had to adapt to remote work. Currently, approximately seven out of ten state officials work outside of offices. Starting in mid-September, half of employees doing smart work will gradually return. For the capital there are about 150 thousand people out of a total of 400 thousand public employees. And the municipality of Rome, where around 23,000 people work, will also continue to keep half of the employees at home. And according to some scenarios prepared by the Mobility Agency, within the Grande Raccordo Anulare, in September there could be some 400,000 fewer people traveling by public transport during the morning rush hour. In January, in the pre-Covid era, more than 1.2 million people were moving during peak hours.
“From a niche phenomenon, as it was until recently, smart work has become a pervasive form of work. the emergency shutdown It worked as a strong accelerator and changed its characters to a great extent, ”CNEL President Tiziano Treu wrote in Il Sole 24 Ore, underlining how before the emergency some 500,000 people worked remotely, while in the weeks of isolation the figure has risen to 8 million throughout Italy. “The pandemic has accelerated some processes that were already underway – reflects the president of Saipem, Francesco Caio – it is clear, however, that the scale and speed with which in a few months, around the world, it has become normal to work at a distance requires deep reflection on the structural impacts of this phenomenon: from the processes of socialization and representation of work, to the organization of the company, to the relationship between cities and suburbs, between large centers and towns, to the transportation system.
An afterthought to which even the government will not be able to remain oblivious. In fact, the executive is working on a law on smart work. “We have to do it,” said the Undersecretary of Labor, Francesca Puglisi, recalling that “on September 24” with Minister Nunzia Catalfo “we called a meeting with the social partners to discuss the future.” In addition to the trend of infections, which in recent weeks have risen again, for companies a date that will mark a milestone will be October 15, the day on which the government has ended the state of epidemiological emergency. Until then, in fact, the rules adopted to contain the spread of the virus allow companies to make employees work from home without having to negotiate anything. Later, however, unless the state of emergency is extended, individual agreements will be required. That is why large companies have so far tried to act with caution and in agreement with the unions.

Gradual return for 150 thousand state employees
One million state officials are preparing to return to office after months of smart work. As of September 15, in fact, agile work will no longer be considered the ordinary way of carrying out the work, or the provisions of article 87 of Cura Italia will cease to have effect. At that point, 50 percent of those who perform disposable activities in the PA will no longer be able to stay at home. Even today, approximately seven out of ten public employees work remotely, or more than two million of the 3.2 million state employees. At the time of maximum emergency, smart work reached peaks of 90 percent in some administrations, from the INPS to the Tax Agency. The so-called disposable jobs within the public administration are those of the central functions, which include 250,000 public workers, and of the local authorities, another 600,000 employees. In the capital alone, where a large part of public works is concentrated, there are 400,000 state governments, of which 100,000 have already returned to the ministries, public bodies and tax agencies. Another 150,000 will now begin to gradually reach them, in compliance with the security rules imposed by Covid-19. State officials who get smart work will find separation barriers, masks and thermal scanners to greet them. The new security protocol provides for the large-scale use of personal protective equipment, sanitation, new office hours to avoid meetings, detection of body temperature, restricted access to dining rooms and smoking areas, and telematic meetings.

In the private sector, caution will continue beyond October
Gradual return to the office of the employees of large companies waiting to see the evolution of the emergency. Only 15% of the 2,900 people working in the Rome offices have returned to Eni and the smart work will remain in effect until October 15. At Enel in Italy, around 15,000 out of 30,000 people work from home. In the capital, the remote mode affects about 5,400 employees, most of them based in the city. The return to the office is not expected this year, although everything will depend on the evolution of the situation. In Terna (one thousand employees in Rome), on May 4 a cautious reopening of the offices that today house up to 40% of the workers began. At Acea, 90% of the employees who can perform activities remotely work from home (approximately 5,000 out of a total of 9,000). At the end of the year, attendance will increase to 40%. In the BNL (which in the building in the Tiburtina area has more than 3,000 people) in the office no more than a third until September 18, then as of September 21 it will rise to 50%.
At the post office, where no fewer than 6,000 employees work at Eur headquarters, smart work is currently at 80%. Starting in September, a gradual return to office is expected up to 40% of the presences. Progressive increase in assistance also to the CDP where it will go from 25% in July to 30-50%. Almost everyone in smart workig, except the operative ones, Tim’s roughly 8,000 Rome-based employees. After October 15, you can choose whether to continue from home or return. Then in January, according to the unions, a new more flexible organization. Agile work also for almost all of Wind’s 2,000 workers. Finally, Engineering plans to reopen its Roman headquarters on October 15. For now, 2,400 are still working from home.

Half of the workers still remotely until December
Until the end of the year, half of Campidoglio’s employees will remain in smart working. In practice, almost 7,000 trips from the largest public body in the country will work from home (considering also municipal companies, kindergarten and kindergarten teachers and the brigade, there will be more than 23,000 employees in charge of Roma Capitale). During the confinement, remotely, two thirds of the total performed. From the City Council of Rome they explain that they are only applying the directive of the Minister of Public Administrations, Fabiana Dadone, for local authorities, drafted precisely to reduce the risk of contagion from Covid for employees and users. Even if they are waiting to see the next Dpcm and understand what the number of positives will be, to rebalance attendance. The fact is that, in practice, mainly the registry offices are open to the public: which, however, can only be accessed by appointment and keeping a distance. Even if, in serious and exceptional cases, such as discovering that your identity card has expired before a trip, you can go to the counters without an appointment. Everything else, the other procedures to be carried out, such as the request for a marriage ban or an authorization to occupy public land, can be done online. For example, when there were requests to present the purchase voucher, an agreement was signed with the kiosks to scan the forms and send them to the offices. But smart work is a path that Rome City Council is aiming for even after Covid: when fully operational, 30 percent of staff must work remotely.
