Employment conditions that truly make a difference

More specifically, flexibility can mean:

  • Hybrid work, linking the stimulating office environment and the benefits of working remotely
  • Arranging your work schedule to achieve work-life balance
  • Taking flexible leave when it’s important for you to meet your obligations or take a break
