Dear Team,

Following a thorough review conducted in collaboration with department leads and employee feedback gathered over Q1 2026, we are pleased to share updates to our company-wide Remote Work Policy. These changes are designed to support flexibility, productivity, and team cohesion as we continue to evolve how we work together.

Please review the key changes outlined below. All employees are required to acknowledge this policy before May 1, 2026.

Key Policy Changes

In-Office Attendance Requirement

All full-time employees are expected to work from the office a minimum of 2 days per week. Teams are encouraged to coordinate their in-office days to maximize collaboration. Scheduling details will be managed through your department lead.

Home Office Equipment Reimbursement

Employees working remotely are now eligible for an annual reimbursement of up to $500 for home office equipment and ergonomic accessories. Eligible items include monitors, keyboards, chairs, and lighting. Receipts must be submitted via the HR portal.

Expanded Flexible Start Times

The flexible start window has been expanded to 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM local time, giving employees greater autonomy to structure their workday. Core collaboration hours remain 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM, during which all team members are expected to be available.
