There’s never been a more relevant time to talk about flexible working. Changes in legislation, society and technology are normalising the different forms that flexible working can take, challenging the traditional 9-5 working week.

Flexibility benefits
Maybe you pick your kids up from school in the afternoon, or like to work out in the morning. Perhaps you play in a band, are training for a marathon or taking dancing lessons. Your life is rich, vibrant and complex and we want to support that by supporting you to work, connect and collaborate more easily.
Whether your colleagues are on a different floor, or on a different continent, we help you get your work done responsibly and flexibly while managing your multifaceted life.
Mobility opportunities
Working across cultures and borders is one of the most powerful and rewarding experiences that EY offers. Mobility gives you the opportunity to take advantage of EY global reach, make international connections and develop your career in new ways.
As clients become more global, EY people must match those experiences and insights to tackle global issues. Mobility helps us deal with emerging global challenges, such as market volatility, geopolitical crises and cyber threats. By thinking and working beyond our own perspectives and borders, we can help deliver unique and valuable perspectives to clients and colleagues.
By investing in mobility, we are cultivating the leaders of the future, ensuring we will drive success across the globe for years to come.
Global mindset
International experiences are the surest way to build a global mindset – a crucial attribute for working effectively with colleagues and clients from different countries, cultures and backgrounds. We’ll give you unique opportunities to develop yours, whether you’re working abroad, traveling internationally or working virtually from your home office with colleagues and clients from other countries.
Cross-border engagements
Being part of a global organisation offers many opportunities for cross-border experiences. One example is traveling for business internationally, from a single trip to regular travel on a long-term engagement. Whether for a few days, weeks or more, working across borders provides you with valuable professional development and collaborative opportunities.
Changing the way we work
We believe that you’ll be at your best in an environment designed around your working habits. Through EY@Work, we create energising environments to help you to work fluidly both in and out of the office.
Making the distinction between how EY people work, not where they sit, is a key component of our flexible working environment. Our EY@Work offices have open, collaborative spaces, ergonomic furniture and are fitted with integrated instant messaging software that allows for calls, conferences and video chat; video conferencing; smart walls; and interactive room booking systems.
It’s all designed to help you and your team work collaboratively more easily, whether your colleagues are down the hall or around the world.
