hybrid working

we are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. we're flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. however, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. we also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances

please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
