About two dozen Metro Bank employees got an early taste this week Hybrid work, When they tested the company’s new approach to office life.
Colleagues from the Financial Crimes Investigation Commission greeted each other on Thursday after a year-and-a-half of telecommunications, until it opened at 8:30 a.m. outside the bank’s Mooregate branch in the City of London. Upon entering the building, they turned left and walked through a glass gate before descending to an office Newly opened basement Below the company.
