We are all unique and at Thales in the UK we have established a way of working to accommodate for this. We call it ‘Smart Working’ and it involves rethinking how our people approach how, when and where they work. This provides a greater level of flexibility that caters to each individual’s needs, whilst helping to improve our business performance. It also embraces advances in technology and workspace design.
"I think embracing Smart Working within our team has been beneficial in that it has allowed me to work more productively and efficiently (for example, my travel time and cost has reduced which has also allowed me to have a greater work/life balance) whilst still having regular contact with my team."
Charlotte Haynes, Legal Counsel
"My role involves customer visits and attendance at many events and meetings. From a personal viewpoint, it would not be possible to do my job effectively and efficiently without a level of Smart Working. I am also a Line Manager with responsibility for staff."
Colin Waugh, Innovation Partner
“I have worked for Thales for over 12 years and feel that I have been given opportunities to develop and grown my career within the organisation. I know that Thales is looking to change the status quo, and to aid this, has introduced Smart Working. I am working with my line manager in order to progress my career; with an aspiration to become a female role model within the team.”
