Working environment

Working in the office with a team of about 30 in the communications department, the environment is more formal, while remote work allows for focused writing in silence. In-office days foster idea sharing and relationship-building; home days can be productive for writing.

Beth uses a laptop and PC monitor and communicates with the team via Teams. The office schedule is typically 8:30am–4:30pm; home schedule is 9:00am–5:00pm. Journalists may work outside these hours to cover events, with time in lieu as applicable.
