We also provide health care insurance, covering both physical and mental health. From on-site gyms to organised sport activities or targeted initiatives such as Cycling to work, we encourage and support our employees’ physical activities.
The pandemic changed our working lives for ever, and we know that flexible working has become essential to many people. Depending on your particular role and location, Equinor tries to accommodate home office and flexible working hours wherever possible.
