Dear valued colleague (LOL)
Two weeks ago, you received a communication about changes to the Remote Working Policy. I have received a great deal of inquiries and questions and I’d like to clear up some confusion regarding the requirements and expectations. The intent of the policy is to address remote working situations where employees work regularly, or consistently, from home or another non-Honeywell location as a standard practice during their normal business hours.
The policy is not intended to preclude employees from doing any work from home. We are a global organization that requires us to work across time zones. Many of us are in roles that require us to have meetings and phone calls with colleagues from other regions outside of our normal work hours. We must continue to operate in this way and the policy does not prevent us from doing so.
We all have occasional situations that arise that make reporting to the office impractical or impossible. These might include a personal or family illness. Not unlike the current expectations, employees should be communicating with their manager and HR and asking if they are approved to work from home. The policy will address how we will handle these occasional situations and will treat them as a one-off exception request.
More information will be coming to managers and local HR during the coming weeks. You should not make any change to your current working situation until you and your manager have met and discussed any needed change. As with all policies, any changes will be in compliance with all applicable laws.
