Our adaptation to distributed working

Multiple variables such as roles, work requirements, locations, business and client needs, impact how we work. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution and we needed to create a new, evolving framework that aligns with Cogent’s values. One that clearly defines the optimal balance of remote and distributed work, enabling the highest quality of work whilst protecting the health and well-being of Cogent, its people and our clients.
