Another large employer, Elephant Insurance, extends work from home option through year’s end

One of the area’s larger employers, Elephant Insurance has announced plans to allow employees the option of continuing to work remotely until the end of the year.

While Elephant is planning to reopen its headquarters sometime after Labor Day to allow for a small number of essential employees, the majority of the workforce will have the option to continue to work from home.

“Thanks to the planning across all departments, we were able to move over 650 employees to working from home eight weeks ago. The teams are working so well that we have decided to extend the option to the end of the year,” said Alberto Schiavon, CEO. “We feel this offers everyone the opportunity to be safer at home without affecting our service standards.”

During the coming months, the Elephant office will also go through modifications to allow for the eventual safe return of its workforce.
