Our Remote Working Policy
A better way of working
For us, wellbeing is about our people being happy, healthy and the best they can be. This is why we’ll empower you to work differently to find the perfect balance for your life, your work and the people in your team.
We want to encourage an environment where all colleagues have flexibility at work and we have several options available to help you adapt your working patterns to your needs.
For example, in our Store Support Centres we encourage Smarter Working. Smarter Working is designed to maximise performance, productivity and two-way flexibility, helping us meet the needs of our customers and our seven-day-a-week business.
A key part of our approach is ‘Smart Weeks’, where people are empowered to flex their working patterns to best fit the needs of their busy lives. What’s not to like?
