HYBRID WORKING APPROACH
We spent a great deal of time speaking with our teammates and our leaders to define our future way of working. We believe that our approach enables the right blend of flexibility and balance whilst being deliberate about connection and collaboration.
The wellbeing of our teammates is our number one priority; we’ve opened the studio to those who want a change of scenery or that all-important face-to-face interaction. For those who aren't ready, there’s no pressure to be in.
From September, we’ll come together every Tuesday to connect and collaborate; the rest of the week, if there’s no requirement to be in the studio, work from where you like within the UK.
We'll continue to evolve the approach once we get into the swing of it, but we're confident we're starting from a good place.
