To help build capability around sustainable business practices Vector sends directors, executives and a mix of both senior and junior employees on courses run by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Our Chief Risk Officer is part of the faculty sharing Vector’s experience with other businesses across Australasia. FUTURE WORKPLACE Future proofing our business means identifying how our people want to work, and creating a range of options that meet their needs. We have started by considering how we redesign our head office more effectively to create a modern work space which is flexible, collaborative and responsive. In May 2018, we began a three-month trial of a concept called Core Working Hours. This trial is aimed at providing options for employees who wish to reduce time spent in peak commuting times, as well as allowing flexibility for people to drop off or pick up children or to provide care for others. The concept builds upon a recent employee survey which indicated that 67% of respondents are accessing informal flexible working arrangements.
