STRATEGIC REPORT
GOVERNANCE
We undertook further work to define our culture and identity of being Just. Everything we do should be delivered sustainably and is underpinned by clear behaviours which we collectively call the Just way.
THREE STRATEGIC PEOPLE PRIORITIES During the year we maintained our focus on three strategic people priorities to enable the delivery of the Group strategy.
EMBRACING OUR NEW WAYS OF WORKING TRIAL ALIGNED TO ORGANISATIONAL RESILIENCE From early 2021 we began to plan a trial of new, hybrid ways of working. This commenced in September and incorporated feedback from colleagues across the organisation. At the heart of our approach is our belief that spending some time regularly in the office will help colleagues to collaborate, innovate, learn from one another and network, as well as sustain the great culture we’ve built at Just. More broadly, we want to supplement the virtual and remote support colleagues have provided to each other over the past two years with real, in-person connections. Working remotely helped to create new relationships and we are building on this to deepen those connections by colleagues spending time together in the office. Creating new working practices To support the key reasons to work from the office, our spaces have been reconfigured including offering neighbourhoods for teams to work together, hot desking, break out areas, work coves, phone booths and concentration zones. Desk and car parking booking technology, and the latest digital and cloud technologies have been implemented as part of creating a modern workplace to ensure colleagues have the right tools for the right job at the right time and can seamlessly transition between office and remote working. We have continually gathered feedback on colleagues’ experiences of using the new environment – fromQR codes at settings which colleagues scanned on their mobiles through to physical feedback kiosks. We adopted an agile test and learn approach to introduce new ways of working for 2022 and beyond.
