Recognizing that flexibility in work location can have a positive impact on employees, Advantus offers both hybrid and remote work opportunities for many of our administrative support roles.
Hybrid Workers are defined as employees who are in the office at least two days per week. Remote Workers are defined as employees who are not in the office or are in the office on an occasional basis.
All employees of Advantus Corp need the right tools and technology to fulfill their duties, collaborate with coworkers, communicate with managers, and feel part of the team.
