● Eligibility: Eligibility for hybrid work arrangements will be based- on several factors,
including the nature of the job roles and responsibilities and the suitability of the work

collaboration will also be key considerations in determining eligibility for hybrid work.

presence. Specific arrangements, including predefined in-office days, will be scheduled in
