Flexible start and finish times are really nice but the flexibility does lead to less connection and interaction which is disappointing. It's really great being able to accrue and take flex leave as you need it.

UU is extremely flexible with WFH and continues to emphasise the need to be responsible and stay home when unwell, which I appreciate as this attitude is no longer prevalent post-pandemic.
I work my required hours and there is a great culture here that emphasises work/life balance.

One of the biggest strength of the company is the flexibility with office hours. I work 2 days in office and 3 days from home each week. If I have appointments or other compulsory committments, the company is very accommodating

Urban Utilities is extremely flexible with ways of working. I work an average 38-hour week, with two days in the office and the others working from home. I have barely worked any overtime, my workload has felt manageable enough to complete within my work hours. I have witnessed from other employees that there is a lot of leniency when it comes to hours in terms of parenting, caring, or other commitments people may have. I know that if I wanted to propose a change in my work hours there would be an open and willing discussion to consider it.

Still getting used to a 7.6 hour day (in the best way possible). I am used to working 8-6 and that was seen as a good work-life balance. I am very glad the culture is shifting away from expecting Grads/juniors to sleep under their desks to "earn" their way into the team or into management positions.

Work hours are really flexible. I usually work before 9am, meaning that I get to finish before 5pm.

I work an 8 hour day. My Leader is extremely flexible with how and when I complete my hours. We spend 1/2 days a week in the office to connect as a team, and then WFH the rest. Work/life balance is fabulous.

My hours are very flexible. I can work anytime between 6am-6pm as long as I do 38 hours a week. I also have flex time so I can build up hours when the team is busy and take leave in slow weeks.

Come in when you can, and leave when you need to as long as you get the work done they are happy.
