Our New Way Of Working

We back our colleagues with the support they need to thrive, professionally and personally. Therefore, we have launched the pilot phase of Amex Flex, which is currently planned until August 2023.

Amex Flex provides greater flexibility to colleagues while ensuring we preserve the important aspects of our unique in-person culture. Depending on the role and business needs, colleagues will either work onsite, in a hybrid model or fully virtual.

Onsite

4-5 days per week in the office. For select roles that can only be performed in the office, those who cannot perform their roles effectively remotely, or for anyone who wants to come in every day.

Hybrid

A mix of in-office and virtual days, coming into the office 1-3 days per week on average. Leaders and colleagues will plan common days for in-person connection, collaboration and events.

Virtual

Work from home exclusively or for the vast majority of the time.
