According to their press release International law firm DAC Beachcroft is set to launch new ways of working for its UK and Ireland-based colleagues, following feedback from colleagues – gathered through surveys and crowdsourcing – and clients. This latest development also builds on the success of the firm’s previous agile working approach.
The new, innovative approach, known as Flex Forward, will see the firm introduce three types of dynamic, location-based working – office-focused, hybrid, and fully flex – to offer the maximum flexibility for each colleague’s role. In addition, the firm will introduce a more flexible approach to working hours, enabling colleagues to ‘glide’ their time. Under this approach, core hours will be relaxed and colleagues will be able to flex their hours across the day and week.
To roll out Flex Forward, DAC Beachcroft will set three guiding principles that underpin the approach: meeting client demands, collaborating as a team, and delivering the outputs of each individual’s role. The firm will also introduce new guidance and policies to reshape how the firm works, covering how and where meetings take place, mindful travel, IT and other equipment for use outside the office, and health and safety guidance for those colleagues working from home. Alongside this, the firm is also looking at how its offices will need to change to support new working patterns.
