Working from the office vs at home

My company goes by the ‘2:2:1’ method, which means we’re expected to be in the office 2 days a week, at home for 2 days and doing something which contributes to our careers (whether that be working with a client in their offices, going to a networking event or even just an exhibition or event which is relevant to what you’re working on at the time) on 1 day. Saying that though, this is flexible and changes each week depending on what’s on.

How is your time managed?

My time is managed primarily by an online booking system. So I am effectively a ‘resource’ that account managers and other employees can book time with as and when. This just stops me from getting overworked, but also is flexible as some things take less or more time than expected.

Are clients assigned to you?

I don’t have any specific clients myself, as my role can be needed to varying degrees depending on what the clients need at the time. Hence why I’ll usually end up working on several clients a week.

Career Progression

Our progress and goals are monitored over the year, with promotions and salaries usually reviewed each year in July and again in October.
