We are happy to see that our FlexFirst Work Strategy is working for you. For many employees having the flexibility to work in the office, from home or a combination of both allows them to better juggle home and work. We are sorry to hear that you feel the workload isn't balanced well. We trust you have been able to share your concerns with your manager, if not we suggest you reach out to your HR Business Partner.
