Work life balance
We recognise that people are more likely to be motivated in their career if they are also fulfilled individuals.
Your personal life
Juggling the demands of your life outside work and your career ambitions can be difficult. As a way of helping balance the two, we give employees the chance to work flexibly through schemes such as part-time hours, home working and job share, as well as career breaks and extended maternity leave.
Usually the people who want more flexibility are parents, but not always. Whatever your reason, we'll do everything we can to find a solution that suits you at the same time as meeting the requirements of the company.
The way we work
There are other, less obvious areas where we've changed the way we work to encourage a better quality of life.
Travelling to meetings costs money, impacts the environment and takes people away from their homes. That's why we have introduced effective ways for teams to communicate and share information remotely. These include virtual meetings, videophones and online collaboration environments. We also have new-generation video-conferencing that's so real it's like meeting face to face.
Health & well-being
Our Personal Vitality campaign promotes programmes and activities which are designed to help everyone in the company take care of themselves.
On the one hand we concentrate on body fitness through encouraging better nutrition, hygiene and personal care. This includes initiatives ranging from health assessments to opportunities for physical activity.
On the other we focus on fitness of heart, mind and spirit by creating a vitalising work experience and environment for our people. This helps them feel energised and able to perform to the very best of their ability.
