Work-related use of mobile devices: Group-wide discussion kicked off. In 2011, we made it clear in Germany that there is no obligation to answer cell phones or e-mail messages for work purposes outside of working hours. Since announced and intro- duced, this voluntary commitment has increasingly been dis- cussed internationally as well. Take, for example, the adapted voluntary commitment at T-Systems in China, where work-related e-mail communication is avoided from Friday 6 p.m. to Monday 8 a.m. Through new ways of working, we want to create a mix that combines excellent performance with attractive employment op- portunities and establishes a win-win scenario for company and workforce alike. One example of this is “mobile working,” a work- ing model we first introduced at T-Mobile Austria. Flexible working hours and tailored time off. The voluntary commitment on part-time for executives is beginning to take ef- fect. The number of male and female German executives working part-time has increased to 27. Overall, in Germany alone, more than 14,500 employees work part-time. New models for taking time out under preparation. In 2012, Telekom is also creating new, tailored offers and financing models for taking a defined period of time away from work. We offer time- out or part-time models, financed in advance by the company, tak- en for personal reasons – including part-time models for family (family care leave with a special salary model offered since Janu- ary 2012), continuing education, or social commitment. In ad- dition, a savings model offers the opportunity of taking flexible time-out or tailoring the structure of part-time work. Standardized parental leave process: Staying in contact with company, colleagues and work area. We further pursued our “Stay in contacT” parental leave scheme for all employee groups in 2011. The aim is to support employees even more intensively by systematically staying in contact. This includes offers for plan- ning meetings at the start of and during parental leave, as well as for re-entry meetings. i Other work-life balance and support offers.
