Anytime, Anywhere

Agile Working is having the flexibility to work outside of the usual times and places of work. Enables employees to work remotely or adapt their hours.

Performance Driven

Modern work is about what you do, not where you do it. Strategic use of technology enables us to work productively from many locations, including our home or office. Our focus is on employees’ performance and we hold employees accountable for producing results.

Balance

We recognize the importance of providing the means for all employees to balance the demands of their careers with other areas of their lives, including family commitments. Work /life balance is a key component of employee success, retention and satisfaction. We believe that this approach to working in a high performance environment supports building and maintaining well balanced teams.

Openness

Open feedback and mutual trust - Agile Working is a partnership between managers and employees – they must communicate openly about their ways of working, and managers must trust their employees to perform well with greater flexibility.

Collaboration

Employees must recognize when collaboration is fostered by meeting in person. Our office environment is a place to foster effective collaboration.


Technology

The Company provides laptops, phones, and monitors to foster productivity for anytime, anywhere ways of working. The office spaces leverage technology to facilitate productive collaboration.
