Frequently asked questions
Do we offer remote work?

At IMD, we provide our employees with the flexibility they need to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Depending on the role you’re applying for, our generous Teleworking Policy can give you the chance to work up to three days from home (this applies to full-time employees only).

Do we offer flexible working hours?

As this depends on the needs of our clients, you should come to an agreement with your line manager to determine your work pattern. Employees will then be given the freedom and autonomy to be fully responsible for the management of their working time.

How many vacation days do we provide?

Our team members are offered the following paid vacations per year:

  • From 20 to 40 years of age: 20 days
  • From 40 to 50 years of age: 22.5 days
  • 50 years plus: 25 days

Our campus is also closed between 25th December and 2nd January. This means employees receive these additional vacation days on top of their paid vacation quotas.

As Frontaliers, can you benefit from the work-from-home policy?

Frontaliers (people employed by IMD Lausanne and who live in a European country) must comply with the European Social Agreement treaty, which currently allows a maximum of 25% of their working time in their country of residence. IMD cannot be held responsible if an employee decides to breach this treaty. Any administrative and financial costs are entirely at the employee’s expense.
