What's in it for you?

Coming up with a strict set of rules that work for every team and individual in a business as diverse as ours isn’t possible.

3. Smarter working – finding simpler, more efficient ways of delivering services to clients and working together as a BR team. These can be tech-enabled but may also be simple changes to our processes
4. Flexible working – a temporary or permanent change to someone’s terms and conditions which fixes a working pattern different to the standard contract
