🖤 We love the way Whereby detail an actual vision and philosophy around what flexible working means to them. It builds confidence, clarity and trust, and we also love that they dedicate space to talking specifically about working hours, but also go deeper in their explanation (E.g. the ‘what does this mean’ section). This is an excellent example to follow and something like this should be clearly linked and signposted from every job advert.

This means we do not:
But it also means we expect our team to:
