Highlights

  • The flexible working arrangements put in place by L’Oréal Indonesia were driven by employee feedback, particularly from female staff who found the lengthy commute to the Jakarta offices had an impact on their work-life balance.
  • This made L’Oréal Indonesia the first country office to implement a flexible working arrangement policy among the L’Oréal group and in 2017, in recognition of the pioneering initiative by L’Oréal Indonesia, the global management encouraged all subsidiaries in all countries to implement a flexible working policy.
  • The implementation of the flexible working arrangement policy has not only had a positive impact on employee work-life balance, but also increased engagement and productivity.
