eDreams ODIGEO, Europe’s largest online travel companies and one of the largest European e-commerce companies, announces that it is expanding its remote work programme across all its European location for all of its employees, as part of a wider action plan in response to the spread of the coronavirus.

Over the past few months, the Group has been implementing a remote work programme that has allowed all employees to work remotely in alternate teams. The excellent results of this programme have allowed the business to seamlessly transition into a remote-only environment in the current context of health concerns. As a result, and in order to protect its team members’ health and safety, the Company is now expanding its remote work programme to 100% of its workforce (over 1,100 employees based in Barcelona, Alicante, Paris, London, Porto, Budapest and Hamburg), as of March 13th. Following the latest developments in Spain and Italy, all team members based in Milan and Madrid have already been working remotely since February 24th and March 10th, respectively. As a leading player in the e-commerce industry with over 20 years’ experience in the online sector, eDreams ODIGEO is fully prepared to operate remotely while movement restrictions apply due to COVID-19. 

eDreams ODIGEO’s utmost priority is protecting the health of all its team members and is thus committed to taking all the relevant precautionary steps to ensure that the safety of all employees is guaranteed. Likewise, the Group has put in place additional measures such as restrictions to corporate travel and reinforced hygiene protocols across its offices.

Gerrit Goedkoop, Chief Operating Officer at eDreams ODIGEO, said: “The safety of our employees is our absolute top priority. For this reason, we are implementing a set of proven measures that are above and beyond the recommendations made by health authorities. Due to our leading-edge technology focus, we can ensure that our operations continue to be carried out seamlessly and with the highest quality standards.”
