How would you like to be paid for five days but only work four?
Our colleagues' wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at OFG, so we're always looking for new ways to improve everyone's work/life balance. We're taking part in a trial of the 4-Day Working Week, which means you could be working one day less a week (or the equivalent).
If the trial is successful, we'll implement the 4DWW across the Group, making this an exciting time to join!
