Agile Working

Agile working puts processes first. It opens the doors for staff to decide where, when and how they work so that the business benefits. You become the enabler.

The approach

Agile working focuses on providing your staff with everything they could need to do their job well and to maximise their potential. And this, of course, is great for business.

Agile working forces you to take a look at the processes inside your business and to ask, “Do they really work for us?”

If the answer is “No”, then it could be time to consider the benefits that agile working can bring to your business.

An agile work environment could look like this:

Lots of small, co-working spaces across a city or area
One office space, split into many different areas with many different uses – think offices, cafes, collaborations spaces, rest and play areas within offices
Working from home
Access to a network of meeting rooms across the country
Hot desking

The benefits

Agile working has huge benefits for your business. Staff can do their jobs at any time of day, in any place they choose. You’re no longer assuming they’re being productive simply because you can see them. The results speak for themselves.

Improve staff satisfaction

Staff are empowered to do their jobs well with agile working. They have all the tools at their disposal to get their job done, on their own schedule and in whichever way they work best. Productivity is boosted and staff satisfaction increases.

Efficiency gains

You can’t make agile working work without great systems and the technology to back them up. Agile working forces you to adopt the most up-to-date and efficient technologies and processes which have huge efficiency gains for your business. Your team can stay in touch and you know exactly where they are with their work.

Save money on office space

You’ll no longer need all that space in one place. This gives you a chance to opt for smaller spaces and reconfigure them so that they work for your business and your staff. You’ll reduce your office spend and have workspace that outperforms what you had previously.

Reduce carbon emissions

When you no longer have everyone coming into the office all the time, commutes go down along with energy use in the office. Recent research suggests 80 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced if people worked from home 3 days a week.
