Q&A With Hiscox Employees

Hiscox highly values the people it employs, is keen to help employees achieve the elusive “work life balance” and an increasingly digitalised environment lends itself to greater possibilities for flexibility. Flexible working can take many forms but typical examples include: • Part time hours – any reduction to the working week specific to a location • Staggered hours - employees choose when to start work • Job-sharing - where a full-time post is covered by two people or divided into two part-time roles • Remote working - employees work some of their hours away from the office • Set shifts - employees follow a set work pattern which can vary day by day • Core hours – employees choose a work pattern which suits them, respecting the need to be in the office between 10am and 4pm The ultimate test for flexible working is you need to be able to get the job done and in a way that does not disadvantage your customers, colleagues or Hiscox
