REMINDER
International Remote Working
Rules and process
This communication is dedicated to the Ipsen HR community
With the approach of the summer period, added to Regis’ announcement (March 12th) related to working from home recommendation due to the Olympic games, we anticipate an increase of international working requests from our employees worldwide.
Since beginning 2023, Ipsen has agreed to accommodate personal and occasional requests from employees to do their “remote” part of the hybrid work model (60/40) in another country than their country of employment.
We have therefore decided to reinforce the message especially regarding the rules and processes, and roles and responsibilities of this exceptional arrangement of International remote working.
