Our adaptable and flexible working approach in the UK helps us to build an inclusive, collaborative, and customer-focused culture.

Our approach to Adaptable & Flexible Working is called Adaptive Working. It is designed to help us reach our potential, share knowledge, and deliver for our customers while balancing our team and individual needs. Building on our three global principles – working flexibly, global collaboration and knowledge sharing, and business focus – we can take advantage of:

Working flexibly

We balance individual needs with those of our customers and colleagues around the world. Informal agreements within each team and business can include flexible start and finish times or working from another location on a non-permanent basis. Formal flexible working includes permanent changes, such as altering the number of days per week worked (e.g. part-time, job share etc.).

Hybrid working 

We are empowered to make decisions with our managers and colleagues about how we balance onsite and remote working. This enables us to achieve the most effective outcomes for our customers, while balancing our own individual needs alongside those of the team. It also supports us in reducing our overall carbon footprint by cutting the amount of travel required.

Compressed Working

Fancy having a day-off every fortnight? As part of our Adaptive Working framework, we have a Compressed Working arrangement that enables us to experience greater work/life balance. Compressed Working enables you to compress your normal contractual hours worked into fewer days to allow for either one non-working half-day per week or one non-working day per fortnight.

What gives you that Friday feeling?

Compressed working enables our UK based colleagues to change their working pattern by compressing normal contractual hours worked into fewer days. For instance, working ten days in nine, with every other Friday off, or five days in four-and-a-half, with every Friday afternoon off.

We caught up with our colleagues to find out what this new way of working enables them to do with their time, or in other words, what gives them that Friday feeling?
