  Hybrid Working:

From September 2023, C4 has operated a 60/40 working pattern, equating to three office days per week.
Having everyone in the office three days a week gives us more opportunity to build our high performing, inclusive culture; to collaborate and to learn and share with each other, as well as helping to coordinate a regular pattern of home and office working days.
Employees then have the flexibility to decide where they spend the rest of the working week.
All our offices are open five days a week.
