BEST PLACE TO WORK
Ensuring that Hutch is an amazing place to work is really important to us. And we're super proud that we've received a Best Place to Work award from gamesindustry.biz for 4 years in a row (from 2020 to 2023). These awards take into account our working practices and benefits, along with input from staff.
At Hutch we’ve always had a hybrid work from home and office split. Before the pandemic we worked from home for 2 days per week to to provide our employees with a level of flexibility. During the pandemic we all worked fully from home, and we now work in the office for 2 days a week, with 2 days working from home as part of our 4 Day Week - more on that below!

We signed up to a 4-day working week trial for 6 months in June 2022 and after the success of the trial, we are now officially a 4 Day Week company! The 4 day working week will be added as a rolling 12 month policy for all our staff (to be reviewed annually).Mental Health coaching
