3 TOGETHER, 2 WHEREVER
We have two key principles:
1) We believe in being together. This means our office-based colleagues coming together for at least three days a week in the workplace, or with customers. We’d expect you to typically come into your own workplace, but sometimes this might mean other workplaces across BT Group, customer locations, or offsite events.
2) We believe in flexibility. This means up to two days of flexible working per week for most office-based colleagues. On these days you can choose to work from home, your local coffee shop (or back in the workplace for those who want to). It’s up to you to choose what works best for you on those days.
