Brave Bison has embraced a new era of working, and implemented many different approaches, which gives staff autonomy on their working patterns and workplace. By giving staff autonomy, Brave Bison has been able to build a culture around trust, with flexibility at the heart of the media organisation. They also see the importance of providing part-time opportunities for returners.
What we love about Brave Bison:
💡 Brave Bison organises regular meet ups to ensure the culture is retained
💡 The organisation gives autonomy to staff to work from their desired location, whether that's at home or in the office.
At Brave Bison, we understand the importance of achieving a healthy work-life fit. For this to work for everyone, we need to start from a position of trust which can only be reached by lots of communication, and encouragement of individual responsibility. The onus is on each individual to manage their workplace commitments, while being supported by clear guidelines of how flexibility is to be used as well as transparency surrounding what you are expected to deliver.
1) We trust our people to do what’s right for the business while ensuring they achieve a healthy work/life balance.
2) When intending to avail of dynamic working, it’s important to agree your work plans, hours, objectives, and any other necessary details with your manager, in advance.
3) It is up to each individual to manage their workplace responsibilities in conjunction with their use of flexibility.
4) Everyone is expected to ‘be present’ at work regardless of when you are working or where you are working from.
5) Flexibility is multi-directional and there may be times when you are expected to offer flexibility in return
Keeping us in the loop
For dynamic working to work for everyone we need to communicate, communicate, communicate! That means we notify our managers and teams, in advance, of our plans to work flexibly. We also agree our objectives, what hours we’ll be working and keep all available channels of communication open while working.
Personal Responsibility
It is up to each individual to manage their workload in tandem with their use of flexibility. You are responsible for ensuring that the way in which you work allows you to stay on top of deadlines, collaborate with the team and meet objectives. Again, communication is key here.
Being Present
Dynamic working works best when the team in the office still feel connected to those working elsewhere. For that reason, we ask that meetings are not cancelled if someone is working from home, instead they dial in. A head on a screen should be able to contribute to a meeting as much as anyone in the room. Everyone is expected to have Skype on whenever they are working from home as well as any other tools the team uses (i.e. Slack).
Multi-directional Flexibility
It’s important to remember that flexibility goes both ways. Although, offering dynamism of hours and workplace is important to achieve the right harmony of work and personal life, there may be times when we are required to give some flexibility back. For example, it may be that we are required to be in office in order to prep for that super important pitch or because you have a new person joining the team.
Technology
We will ensure that we all have the necessary technological means to avail of dynamic working. However, in advance of working flexibly, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the necessary technology & software to do so. Any concerns should be raised to IT as soon as possible.
