Flexible and Inclusive. Responding to our people’s expectations about balancing the needs of their home life and their working life, we’ve changed the way in which we work.  At Apollo, we are committed to making our work environments more flexible and inclusive for everyone.

We’re guided by some key principles aligned with our cultural genes:

• Agility We believe that giving our people more flexibility in when, where and how they work improves business performance and allows us to attract and retain more diverse talent. 
• Structured for growth We also believe in the importance of in-person working to generate new ideas, drive innovation, and create the social capital that reinforces our culture. 
• Say yes, and…We recognise that a balance of in-person and remote working can capture the benefits of both models and lead to improved wellbeing for our employees. 
• We invest in talent We expect our leaders to balance the individual, team and company interests, as well as the needs of each job, to develop the optimal working patterns for their teams. 
• Embrace the adventure We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and that each approach will depend on individual circumstances and will need to evolve and adapt as these circumstances change. 
• Purpose drives us We encourage all our leaders to think carefully about their team’s business travel, and to balance the need for in-person meetings with our commitment to minimise our environmental impact as a business.

These are some initiatives that support this:

• Flexitime – our people can flex the start and end of their day, allowing them the opportunity to manage both family and work daily commitments. The scheme also allows the possibility of finishing half day on each Friday.
• Hybrid working – for most office positions, there is the ability to work 50% from home each week.
• Work patterns – we consider a variety of work patterns including part-time, job share, or condensed working weeks.

We care about our people and their local community. As with our value, ‘Just be a Good Person’, we are a company with people committed to doing what’s right for our community.
