UM’s hybrid approach to working is centred around flexibility, where we split our time between the office and other approved locations to get our work done. Within that framework, we empower groups and teams to determine their own hybrid working pattern, depending on the work and the team's needs.

In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution.
