Shape your workday with Smart Work
At Bosch, many things are possible: whether we work remotely or in the office is decided together as a team and with the supervisor.

Smart Work in everyday life:
Finding the right balance at Bosch
Outstanding performance, effective collaboration, and personal development also thrive in a hybrid working environment. The right balance of personal get-togethers, spontaneous encounters at the location and individual flexibility is crucial for our performance culture at Bosch.
With Smart Work, teams at Bosch have the flexibility to decide how to best combine office and remote working to match their tasks and the needs of the business.
That’s why we promote Smart Work
We work in a highly dynamic business field — and that has an impact on our day-to-day work. Globalization, climate change, new forms of mobility and the ongoing digital transformation are important examples of this. We adapt to current events by having a flexible working culture.
According to various studies, employees are also very productive when working remotely. Daily use of virtual communication tools increases digital know-how and drives digital transformation.
By avoiding the commute, we are not only protecting the environment, but also strengthening a healthy work-life balance.
Working creatively, exchanging ideas, joint problem solving: Often such tasks work better in face-to-face contact with other employees. The office is the central meeting place and hub for innovation. Virtual collaboration also benefits from such personal exchanges. Regular team days in the office are therefore indispensable.
Whether we work in the office or remotely: for us, both are valuable forms of work. We benefit from the team spirit that is fostered by personal contact in the office, and from employees who are able to improve the balance of their professional and private lives while working in a home office.
Making a positive contribution to the future
With Smart Work, we are contributing to a sustainable world. By increasing working from home, tons of greenhouse gases can be saved. Bosch also supports sustainable forms of mobility for the commute to the office.
By taking advantage of working remotely, we have been able to reduce our business travel. Over the past few years, we have learned just how well virtual meetings work. We use the latest digital tools to share and exchange ideas with each other — and in doing so we’ve had very positive experiences with Microsoft Teams.
