Agile Working at Lloyds Banking Group
What is agile working?
Agile working is key to ensuring our colleagues can have a rewarding career and a healthy lifestyle balance.
During hiring and if the need arises when you work for us, we’re happy to consider options other than 9-to-5 office-based work. Agile working is more than working flexibly — it’s about empowering and entrusting colleagues to think creatively about how, when and where they work, to deliver the best outcomes.
Agile working can mean:
- part–time
- job share
- reduced hours
- compressed hours
- home working, or
- other flexible arrangements.
Over a third of our workforce already work in an agile way.
Who can work in an agile way?
You don’t have to be a parent or carer to work agile – some colleagues use it to pursue further study or for many other reasons. When you ask to work in an agile way, we’ll consider your needs and the needs of your role, and try and find something that works for everyone.
How our agile working offer is getting better
We’re a founder member of the Agile Future Forum, a group of leading UK employers supporting flexible working. Through the Forum, we’ve been looking at ways to become even more agile.
We’re also investing £1 billion over the next three years in a strong technology infrastructure that will mean we can embed agile working in the business, delivering a seamless service to customers.
Hear some agile working stories from our colleagues, Charlotte and Amy
"There’s always been a lot of support and flexibility here, but this was a really forward-thinking idea which showed just how much they cared and understood us."
Charlotte and Amy both wanted to reduce their hours for a better work-life balance. Together with their managers, they put together a plan to make it work.
"We’ve been job-sharing for almost 5 years now. We’ve both had long, separate careers at Lloyds Banking Group, but we have very similar skills and situations at home. We both wanted to reduce our hours for a better work-life balance after having kids, but we didn’t want to give up our careers in tech either. Now, we share one role together in digital development and insight.
Neither of us had ever heard of job-sharing before. It was our managers who came up with the idea – they realised that the hours we each wanted to do made up a full-time role. We both already knew each other and we just thought, wow, that sounds perfect!
So far, it’s worked really well. We’re really similar in our working styles and we’ve worked the same kind of role before, so we can put our heads together on problems and share the load easily. It runs so smoothly.
We’re lucky to have so much support and flexibility. There’s always been a lot of that here, but this was a really forward-thinking idea which showed just how much they cared and understood us. We haven’t had to sacrifice our career, and we can still be working mum role models for our kids."
