    Hybrid work flexibility means people can meet the changing demands of work and home in the most balanced, productive, and healthy way.Our hybrid working model is defined in 3 ways:
    We believe in the importance of impactful collaboration: There's a certain energy when everyone's in the same room that can heighten idea generation and creative friction needed for problem-solving.
