NEWS FROM THE TOP
CULTURE In today’s evolving business landscape, we are constantly evaluating and adopting new ways to recruit, empower and retain the best people in our industry, so that we continue to meet the growing needs of our clients and our standard of exceptional service. While the past 18 months have been undeniably disruptive, that disruption has provided us opportunity – opportunity to ensure we are creating environments that are built to deliver results while also fostering inclusivity and growth for our people Last Autumn, we published our 2020 Culture Report which tells the story of how the daily interactions between our people creates our unique culture. It brings to life how our core purpose is woven into the fabric of our firm and how this helps clients, our alumni and one another succeed. Now, while COVID-19 may have felt all consuming, it isn’t the only global challenge or issue that we’re facing. For example, in our Culture Report, we cover our Race Action Plan and our commitment to becoming carbon neutral.
From the personal and professional implications of the pandemic to the ongoing struggle for racial and gender equity, we each face our own unique circumstances, challenges, and possibilities. As our Leadership Team reflected on the impacts of the past 18 months, we knew we could do more to further strengthen our culture and ensure our people had the resources and support needed to thrive. We had the opportunity to evolve a key component of our People Proposition: our agile working strategy. As social distancing measures are eased and we emerge out of this third (and hopefully final) national lockdown, we have decided to take an agile approach to work post- pandemic and allow all our employees the opportunity to choose how they work in a way that best suits the task they are doing. Resulting in an amalgamation of hybrid working rather than a strict schedule, allowing our staff greater autonomy over their work and personal lives and still delivering quality work and exceptional client service.
