How we work
With offices in seven locations around the world, our employees are used to working with each other online – and throughout 2020 we were able to continue to support our editors, authors, and reviewers from our homes.
2020 workplace initiatives
In 2020, we introduced several new workplace initiatives to support our people during the pandemic and beyond. This included reimagining our office spaces and introducing more remote working.
Introducing more remote working
Our people now have the flexibility to choose where they want to work. And for those that live further away from the office, remote working will be available on a part- or full-time basis.
Transforming our office spaces
More remote working offers the opportunity to rethink how we use our offices. When it’s safe to return, our workplaces will become “social hubs” with more meeting and event spaces to connect with colleagues.
Prioritizing health and safety
We continue to monitor the pandemic closely and keep our employees informed of any new measures taken by Frontiers to help mitigate the spread of the virus.
Supporting mental health and wellbeing
Our Covid support team provides advice and assistance for employees struggling to cope with the pandemic. This includes flexible working arrangements for parents and resources to help us stay connected.
