Our people are the beating heart of our business. We are incredibly proud of our FlexFirst policy. FlexFirst working is not the same as home working permanently. We believe personal connection and collaboration are important to both your and our success stories. Everyone should have the right balance of office and home working to stay connected to the business, work with their team, and manage their wellbeing. We’re not asking everyone to do a fixed number of days. We’re asking everyone to work with their managers and teams to get the balance right. So, after you have finished your training, you will work flexibly from home. We meet up in the office 2/3 times per month (as a minimum) so we can come together to connect and collaborate. Please make sure your commute is manageable and you are happy to attend the office when required.
We are committed to creating a cleaner and greener future. And we’re making big changes to help us get there. That means cutting customers' emissions and our own to reach net zero. And because our people are the beating heart of our business, we will continue to champion inclusivity, develop future skills, and invest in our local communities to create a better world for everyone. As part of our reforestation project with WeForest, for every new employee that joins our team, we plant trees in underprivileged areas in Tanzania to offer farming and wildlife economy opportunities for locals.
It’s important that we do the right thing, and we will carry out financial, criminal record and reference checks before you start working with us.
