WORKYOURWAY INSIDER VIEW

Barclays strive to have an inclusive organisation and work environment for its employees. The organisation have introduced an initiative called 'dynamic working', which improves inclusivity in the workplace, emphasising how you work rather than how many hours are spent in the office. Barclays recognises the positive impact that agile working can have on productivity and engagement of their employees.

What we love about Barclays:

💡The dynamic working initiative empowers colleagues to control their schedules and workload.

💡Recognises that flexible working isn't just be for parents and carers and instead, Dynamic Working is inclusive for all individuals regardless of their needs and lifestyle.

Flexible Working Approach

At Barclays we have a clearly defined ambition to be an inclusive organisation where every individual has the opportunity to discover and reach their potential. We recognise that the world is changing. To be truly inclusive we have to embrace change and understand the role we play in business, society and the community.

To make this happen, we have embedded flexible working to support colleagues across generations, gender, sexual orientation and every aspect of diversity.We’re committed to providing a supportive and inclusive culture and environment. This environment recognises and supports personal needs, alongside the professional needs of our business.Allowing and encouraging colleagues to work flexibly means:
