A Hybrid working model
Now offices are fully open we have embraced a hybrid working model, which allows our employees to split their time between the office and other locations, something we hope will provide everyone much more flexibility to their working week. The expectation is that for most people, working life at Hogarth will involve working from office (Hogarth or partner agency) for up to 3 days per week.
