Publicis Group announced Work Your World, starting in January, allowing staff to work from any country where the global agency is present for up to six weeks a year.
Global agencies have been announcing policies allowing their staff, who have mostly been restricted to one country during the pandemic, to shift offshore for extended periods.
OMD in September announced OMD Heartlands, a way for staff to reconnect with distant loved ones. This gives people the opportunity to spend an extended period working from their home states or countries via a combination of annual leave and working remotely.
Arthur Sadoun, global Chairman and CEO of Publicis: “We have been working hard on how to turn the hybrid world into new opportunities for everyone at Publicis, and make the future of work more creative and more daring.
"We know the pandemic isn’t over, and we know that the world could close again at any time. But that’s not a reason to close our horizons and perspectives.
"We will continue to move forward, because one day this crisis will come to an end and because we owe it to our people to make their professional and personal experience at Publicis truly unique."
