Established in Tetouan in 2016, NTT DATA MOROCCO doubled its workforce during the pandemic thanks to the generalization of teleworking and the increase in demand from Europe.
While most IT companies ask their employees to come back to the office a few days a week, NTT DATA MOROCCO is launching the Digital Nomad initiative, to allow its employees to work from any city in the Kingdom.
With this initiative, the subsidiary of the Japanese multinational NTT DATA also hopes to attract new talent with the recruitment of 200 new professionals per year to achieve its growth objectives.
Flexibility, priority for IT profiles
A Digital Nomad is an experienced professional wishing to combine travel and work through the use of digital technologies. The rise of teleworking has led many professionals to leave the stress and inconvenience of big cities to settle in their region of origin or in a region that allows them to combine the quality of life and/or favorite pastime.
Digital nomadism is a real trend among IT professionals because they appreciate the flexibility of this way of working with the constraints of going to offices at fixed times.
Digital Nomads choose their place of work: from their place of residence, a co-working space, a café terrace... and thus gain in productivity, since they can choose the pace of work and the place that allows them to be the most efficient.
This collaboration model is particularly suitable for IT professions that lend themselves well to management by objectives as adopted by NTT DATA MOROCCO.
Moreover, the latter has 400 employees, nearly 60 of whom work from more than 20 different cities. The launch of this measure will make it possible to increase the number in new regions, which leads the company to estimate that in the long term, 30% of its employees will recommend this mode of collaboration which continues to attract new followers.
Engagement with line Ministries
For NTT DATA MOROCCO, this initiative is all the more important as it is part of the continuity of the commitment sealed by the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and that of Digital Transition and the Reform of the Administration – which concerns the creation of new jobs.
The recruitment of these profiles in "Digital Nomad" mode will allow the growth and development of other cities in Morocco and will thus contribute to the acceleration of regionalization in the field of IT, a national priority.
This new model of collaboration, which revolves around responsible flexibility, should enable NTT DATA MOROCCO to become the leading IT employer in other regions of Morocco.
