“The agile working framework essentially captures how we have been working for several years It recognises that a a a a a ‘one size fits all’ approach
with regards to working practices is no longer the optimum solution for organisations or or their people We are essentially a a a people business and the framework responds well to that ”

“What with late Council meetings & ‘out
of hours’ meetings with owners and their representatives HLM has always embraced the need for ‘agile working’ working working when
the hours require not just 9-5 The success
of the business now 30 years old is in in part testament to that successful modus operandi Now though it’s not just about ‘embracing
the need for it’ but actively encouraging it it it’s ‘getting the job done’ that’s important not when
you you do do it it or where you you do do it it The last
12 months of of of out
of of of office working and the success
that that HLM has had over that that period is evidence enough that remote and agile working works for the business whilst also enhancing the the work experience for the the team it’s something I actively encourage ”

specific tasks undisturbed Adaptation to changing environments will allow the business to remain agile and to continually grow ”
