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.

This is inclusive of:

• Hybrid working – where teams are working together in multiple locations i.e. a BR office, a client site, their home or somewhere else
• Synchronous/Asynchronous working – using the office or technology to work together at the same time / using technology and different ways of working to work at different times to colleagues.
• 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
• Flexible working – a temporary or permanent change to someone’s terms and conditions which fixes a working pattern different to the standard contract
