With modern technological resources and tools at our disposal, remote work enables us to carry out our responsibilities effectively and efficiently. 3.

We encourage employees who need flexibility within their working hours to discuss their schedule with their manager. Please be aware that the new policy will be subject to continuous evaluation in alignment with the latest recommendations from health experts and local authorities. We will promptly notify you of any changes or developments.
