At Dialogic, you have a lot of freedom in how you organise your workweek. Your workplace is also flexible and depends on agreements at the office, at home or elsewhere.
At the office
You can always go to the office. Working from home is not required (but is allowed). At the office, you will meet your colleagues. The office provides good workspaces and rooms for hybrid or online meetings. At 12:30, we have lunch together at our long lunch table. Almost no one eats lunch at their desk.
You will receive a key to the front door. Therefore, you can decide your start and end times, coordinating your schedule with other members of your project team for joint meetings and external parties for interviews or appointments. Typically, working hours are between 8:30-17:30 from Monday to Friday.
If you are new to Dialogic, we recommend being at the office as much as possible. This facilitates getting to know colleagues, asking questions about tasks, and learning from your peers. Once you become more independent, you can also work from home more.
At home
You are allowed to work from home up to (on average) half of the week if you find it pleasant and it fits within the projects you are working on. This can be fixed days in the week or as needed (as long as you clearly indicate it in your schedule). Many colleagues, for example, choose to work from home when they need to concentrate (such as writing a report), and prefer to be at the office for other tasks.
We provide opportunities for working from home. Everyone receives a laptop as standard. If needed, we can arrange an external screen, desk chair, and work phone for you. We work in online environments, so you can continue your research from anywhere. If you have questions for colleagues, you can always reach them by phone or Teams.
We believe in the importance of meeting each other. Our aim is for everyone to work from home a maximum of 50% of the time so that you see each other regularly.
Elsewhere
You always work on projects commissioned by others. Therefore, you will regularly visit clients for introductions or discussions on project progress. In many studies, we also conduct interviews which may take place online or involve visiting a conversation partner. We frequently visit ministries in The Hague, but interviews can take place throughout the country and also in Flanders. For instance, our researchers have interviewed prisoners in prisons nationwide, or employees at shipyards. For telecom research, we have conducted measurements in rural areas by bike to map the coverage of 5G or the installation of fibre optic networks.
