Work from anywhere
2020 was certainly a year for experimenting with new ways of working, and for us it brought in an entirely new remote workforce strategy for our non-operational people.
We found that working from home and connecting virtually saw our people really thrive in this new world of work, which brought on our ‘remote first’ arrangement.
This means our teams are no longer bound by geographical locations, which has opened up great opportunities and new roles that had previously been restricted by an office location.
If you’re joining our Work From Anywhere team, read our manifesto to understand more about the inspiration behind building a fully flexible workforce.
