Flexible Working Approach

Smart Working is Balfour Beatty’s approach to when, where and how our employees work. It’s more than a flexible working policy; it is about having a supportive, inclusive culture and being a great place to work. It covers all the stages of your career and considers arrangements and flexibility to meet your needs such as staggered start and finish times, and where roles allow, the opportunity to work remotely 40% of the time.

WORKING PATTERNS WE OFFER

Part-time: An employee who works fewer hours than a full-time worker. There is no specific number of hours that makes someone part-time, but a full-time worker will usually work 35-40 hours a week.

Flexi-Time: This is a working schedule that allows employees to choose when they start and end their workday, usually to accomodate an individuals needs and other commitments outside of work.

Core Hours / Staggered Hours: Core hours refer to specific times an organisation requires an employee to work, for example 10am to 4pm. Staggered hours are when an employee has different start and finish times from other workers.

Full-time: A full-time employee works between 35 and 40 hours per week, usually on a permanent contract.

WORKLOAD OPTIONS WE OFFER

Phased Retirement: This refers to an approach that gives employees the ability to manage the transition from full-time employment to retirement.

WORKPLACE OPTIONS WE OFFER

Hybrid Working (Office / Home): This means an employee splits their time between the workplace (usually office based) and remote working (usually at home).

Remote or Mobile Working: This is a type of working arrangement that allows an employee to work from a remote location outside of corporate offices.

Work From Home (WFH): This is where an employee has the ability to set up their workspace at home, and manage their work without the need to go to the office.

Office Working: This refers to an employee being physically present in the workplace to fulfil their contractual responsibilities.
