Flexibility, staff happiness and teamwork are super important to us here at Flume. Happy, empowered people = outstanding customer experience and excellent cohesive teamwork. Being a great place to work is just as important to us as providing impeccable service to our clients. That’s why we’ve partnered with Flexa, they provide an independent review process for businesses, so you can see just how flexible they are. We’re proud to be a Flexa Verified Business.
Our vision of work is spending more quality time with loved ones, prioritising exercise and wellbeing over commuting, and starting your day with clarity rather than the chaos of rush-hour traffic.
It’s no wonder that flexible working tops the list of employee demands, with a staggering 92% expressing a desire for more flexibility.
At Flume we’re a fully remote team, which can enable greater flexibility, but we wanted to ensure that our actions aligned with our beliefs and that our employees felt our workplace was as flexible as we envisioned it to be.
So, what did it take to become Flexa Verified Business?
We submitted our flexible working options to Flexa, and our employees were taken through an anonymous survey. Each individual rated six key indicators: location, hours, role modelling, benefits, work-life balance, and autonomy, giving us a Flexified score.
And the results are in… drumroll please 🥁 We achieved an impressive Flexa score of 94% 🙌🏽
