We also promote a range of well-being initiatives aimed at fostering positive mental health both in and out of the workplace. Our 'Flexible by Choice' program allows colleagues to choose a hybrid working model that best suits their role, team, and client needs.

We have been recognized as one of the Best Workplaces for Wellbeing for Large Organizations in 2024.
