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 working life at Hogarth will involve working from the office for about 50% of the time for most people.
