Work Model

U.S. Hybrid Work Model:
Effective September 5, 2023, employees in office-based positions in the U.S. will be working a hybrid schedule consisting of three total days on-site per week (Monday – Thursday, though specific days may vary) with Friday designated as a remote-working day, unless business-critical tasks require an on-site presence.

This hybrid work model does not apply to field-based, facility-based, manufacturing-based, or research-based positions where the work is performed at a Company site, positions covered by a collective-bargaining agreement (unless the agreement provides for hybrid work), or any other position for which the Company has determined the job requirements cannot be reasonably met working remotely. Please note, this hybrid work model guidance also does not apply to roles designated as “remote”.
