AG Insurance Wins Six Awards

Telewerken is meer dan keuze tussen twee of drie dagen

Het zit er bovenarms op bij verzekeraar AG Insurance. De inzet: de regeling rond telewerk. Ook in andere organisaties is dat nog een item voor de komende weken, maanden en jaren. Ik heb de voorbije maanden wel persberichten en onderzoeken zien passeren rond de toekomst van telewerk. Mijn conclusie is dat het zogenaamde hybride werken in veel gevallen de dienst zal uitmaken. Thuiswerk dus, al ligt de focus op het kantoor. Ik hoor van bekenden dat ze vandaag bijvoorbeeld twee dagen naar kantoor trekken, en dat binnenkort meer gaan doen. Vergoeding
"‘De discussie bij AG loopt hoog op’"
Kortom, in de praktijk hebben werknemers twee volwaardige werkplekken. En dan kan je als organisatie maar beter voorbereid zijn. Vaak is er nog niets geregeld. Ook financieel niet. Zo ontvangen zes op de honderd bedienden een thuiswerkvergoeding, zo wees een onderzoek van hr-specialist Securex uit. Maar ook over andere zaken zijn er geen afspraken. Telewerk vindt gewoon clandestien plaats, zoals het al jaren het geval is. Het is een kwestie om die afspraken te maken, en dat loopt niet altijd even vlotjes. De situatie bij AG Insurance toont dat aan. De vakbonden daar voeren deze week actie, naar eigen zeggen omdat het bedrijf – toch de grootste verzekeraar van het land - niet langer wil onderhandelen over een arbeidsovereenkomst voor telewerk. Discussie
De discussie over een nieuwe regeling voor telewerk bij AG Insurance loopt bijna een halfjaar, maar beide partijen raken het niet eens. Let wel, telewerk is een achttal jaar mogelijk bij het bedrijf. Maar in de nasleep van de coronacrisis wil de grootste verzekeraar van het land een nieuw systeem invoeren waarbij werknemers twee dagen per week verplicht naar kantoor komen en tot drie dagen kunnen thuiswerken. AG Insurance wilde dat - als vanouds - regelen via een policy, waarbij werknemers een bijlage bij hun arbeidsovereenkomst ondertekenen. De vakbonden bij AG Insurance zien dat anders. Zij vroegen het management telewerk niet via zulke individuele afspraken vast te leggen, maar via een collectieve arbeidsovereenkomst. Volgens de directie wil de vakbond via telewerk andere thema’s geregeld krijgen, zoals een tijdsregistratie om overuren te compenseren. Telewerk als alibi dus. ‘Niets voor personeel’
"‘Telewerk moet wettelijk worden vastgelegd’"
De verwijten gaan over en weer. Volgens de directie van AG Insurance krijgen werknemers die thuis aan de slag zijn wel een vergoeding per thuiswerkdag en hebben ze ook recht op compensatieverlofdagen. ‘Een prima regeling’, klinkt het. Maar de bonden zien dat anders. ‘Er is geen compensatie voor de vele gratis overuren die thuis worden gepresteerd’, klinkt het bij de vakbond. ‘Terwijl AG een recordwinst boekt, is er niets voor het personeel’, gaat het verder. Tekenen of thuiswerken
Volgens de bonden heeft de directie van AG Insurance het personeel tot 8 oktober (morgen dus) de tijd gegeven een individuele bijlage bij het arbeidscontract te ondertekenen. 'Tegelijk werd aan het personeel gemeld dat ze geen enkele dag meer mogen telewerken als ze dat document niet ondertekend hebben', klinkt het bij de vakbond. Bij de directie klinkt dat iets genuanceerder. ‘Aangezien telewerk nu niet meer wettelijk verplicht is, moet dit wettelijk gezien formeel worden vastgelegd. Indien ze de bijlage niet ondertekenen, betekent dit dat hun arbeidsovereenkomst niet in de mogelijkheid tot telewerk voorziet.’
Of hoe het bij telewerk om veel meer draait dan twee of drie dagen thuis je pc aanzetten. Telewerk snijdt dwars door de organisatie. x

Stackable coverage for complex farm equipment and key data
The first microelectronics protection for implements in the field
Farm cyber covers threats from hackers and cyber criminals
Available loss prevention sensors and risk management services
HSB Precision Ag Covers Farm Machinery and Electronics in the Cab
May 18, 2021 08:34 AM Eastern Daylight Time
HARTFORD, Conn.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--HSB Precision Ag insurance, a flexible suite of coverages for today’s evolving farm data risks, technology and state-of-the-art equipment, was introduced today by HSB, part of Munich Re. Designed for large commercial enterprises and smaller family farms, it combines equipment breakdown and cyber insurance to offer broad protection for data-driven precision agriculture. Precision Ag provides a choice of insurance endorsements and loss prevention services designed to stack and work together without the potential gaps of some standalone farm insurance policies. It’s protection for the latest farming risks, including coverage for stationary equipment, electronics in the cab, key farming implements, and cybersecurity threats. “Data and technology are at the center of today’s farming operations,” said Ken Grothe, assistant vice president for HSB. “Increasing demand and climate change are driving the need for more efficiency and producers are pushing their equipment harder than ever. Farmers can’t afford expensive breakdowns, downtime, or the loss of critical information they depend on.”
Breakthrough Microelectronics Protection for Farm Implements
Operating in harsh conditions, farm machinery and electrical components are vulnerable to dust, chaff and other elements that can cause breakdowns and short circuits. Precision Ag covers the physical breakdown of equipment and the failure of microcircuitry and firmware for sensors, monitors, cameras and other electronics inside the cabs of tractors and combines. It’s the first farm insurance with an option to extend that coverage to portable agricultural implements, such as seeders, sprayers, spreaders and tillers, for both mechanical breakdowns and undetectable damage to the sensitive microelectronics that control them. Farm Cyber Coverage for Indispensable Crop Data
Modern farming aggregates a tremendous amount of data to increase yields when planting, managing and harvesting crops. The loss of that data to hackers and cyber-attacks can reduce efficiency and drive up costs for fuel, fertilizer and irrigation. Precision Ag is available with additional HSB farm cyber coverage and services for computer attacks and cyber extortion, including data restoration, income loss and expense, and system improvements to help prevent future cyber-related losses. The extra cyber protection extends to personal devices used in the business of farming. IoT Sensors and Farm Risk Management Services
In addition to equipment breakdown and cyber insurance, Precision Ag offers HSB’s Internet of Things sensor solutions to help prevent losses on farm property. Agribusiness risk management services can be provided by HSB specialists, who have experience with solar and wind systems, grain drying and storage, and poultry and hog confinement. Precision Ag is available through property-casualty insurers who partner with HSB to add the coverage for their farm policyholders. Hartford Steam Boiler (HSB)
