Smart Working Principles

We agree the office is just one place we can work – changing the

infrastructure is great but the office isn’t always the best environment

to work

We know trust isn’t about turning up – Healthy working relationships

rely on trust earned through mutual respect and value. We shouldn’t
have to be in the office for people to truly believe we’re working

We believe great work can happen any time (any where,

any place): When we do our best work it is rarely dictated by what
time it is. What matters most is delivering the best work possible,

with consideration and collaboration with others involved in the

process.

We value working smart over working longer: Being first in and last

out doesn’t mean someone is working better or harder. We need to

evolve the way we measure performance to focus on productivity,
not hours and minutes.

We recognise that smart enables better work life balance: Smart
Working empowers our staff, increases opportunities for work life
