Work From Anywhere

Thank you to the EMMAs judges who awarded Mercer and Work From Anywhere the award for "Best Partnership Between Two Service Providers" earlier this week in London. This is the 3rd global award we have won in less than 6 months and we are immensely grateful to the support of our partners, our customers and everyone who has been supporting us along the journey. We could not have achieved this success without you all. Our CEO John Lee said: “Mercer took a bet on us back in 2023, and were brave enough to believe in how much international remote work was going to become a crucial employee benefit.  Despite all the noise around RTOs, we are seeing more and more companies around the world recognise how valuable it is to allow employees to be able to access the benefit of being able to work remotely back home with loved ones for a few weeks at a time.  Making this as part of your rewards offering is something that those employees will very often never forget, especially if it is to visit those loved ones who might be unwell. We’re excited to see how together with Mercer we are going to continue to innovate what we do with our Work From Anywhere platform to offer a world-class technology platform that can help companies to capitalize on the wider opportunities that remote work offers.  Frederic Franchi and the whole team in Mercer have been incredible partners, as have the Mercer clients we have worked with, so you can be sure Mercer and Work From Anywhere as partners together will be using these awards as a springboard to further revolutionize employee benefits in 2025 and beyond.” #award #partnership #innovation The Forum for Expatriate Management

Their Work From Anywhere programme balances flexibility and in-person engagement, empowering employees to work where they thrive - be it at home, abroad, or in a cutting-edge office space. 🌍 However, working at Revolut isn’t for the faint of heart. The fast-paced, high-pressure environment comes with its challenges, including long hours and high expectations. In this context, their focus on flexibility - like 60 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 - can act as a much-needed counterbalance, helping employees recharge and maintain their well-being. What do you think about this approach?
