Social distancing does not mean social isolation!

Be strong together

In the current special situation, everyone's health has the highest priority. Keeping distance is the most important measure to contain the further spread of the virus. But that does not mean we are on our own now. Cohesion and cooperation are more important than ever. The situation demands the commitment of all of us – together we can overcome it. We want to show ways how we can work together (digitally) effectively and efficiently during this time and beyond, how everyone can adjust to this situation, and how current challenges can be mastered.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

General

Do I need the approval of my supervisor for occasional flexible working?

Yes, with the consent of the manager, it may be possible to take advantage of the possibility of occasional flexible working – but not permanently.

What are Dos and Don'ts of digital work?

Hardware, connectivity & internet

I do not have a sufficient internet connection. What can I do?

You can set up a hotspot via your business mobile phone and connect it to your company laptop. If you do not have a work mobile phone, you can request a data card for your laptop, after consulting your supervisor.

My data volume has been used up. Am I allowed to rebook data volume?

 

This depends on your country and provider. Please make sure to consult your supervisor about your need and the resulting costs. In general you are allowed to book data volume if required for work.

 

For Telekom Germany customers:

Open the following domain with your smartphone or notebook/PC:

pass.telekom.de

On this page you can not only check the data volume used, but also book data volume (SpeedOn passes) if required. Make sure that you are connected to the Internet via the mobile network and not via Wi-Fi. Talk to your supervisor about your consumption and the resulting costs.

 

I do not own a company laptop/phone or other hardware. What other options do I have?

You have the possibility to access your TÜV NORD mails as well as the intranet via the https://www.tuev-nord.de/en/employee-login/. You also have the possibility to exchange and share data with your team via external sharepoints. For further information on data exchange click here.

Which tools/ software are available to use?
I can no longer order a headset in TradeCore or the delivery times and prices are extremely high. What can I do?

As an alternative, we recommend the conventional wired headphones with a 3.5 mm jack and microphone, which are often already included with your smartphone. You are welcome to use them as the quality is sufficient.
