Nicolai Tangen speaks during a press conference on his employment contract as he has been appointed new general manager of Norges Bank Investment Management May 28, 2020. — NTB Scanpix/Hakon Mosvold Larsen pic via ReutersOSLO, May 3 — Staff at Norway’s US$1.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund will only be asked to come to work at the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays once the Covid-19 pandemic is over, its CEO said today.
“We are thinking that after the pandemic we will allow up to two days a week of home office and we have two fixed days in the office for everyone for meetings,” Tangen said, adding that this was a way of attracting and retaining talented staff.“You need to offer flexibility in a different way than before. It is just not acceptable to require people to be in the office all the time. I think it shows that you don’t trust people,” Tangen told Reuters.
