As a business we’re at our best when we’re connected and working together. We believe coming together in person enables us to deliver more effectively on our core purpose and provides stronger connection between colleagues, as well as with customers, and suppliers. It also allows us to truly experience the culture which makes One Stop a great place to work for all. At One Stop we offer a flexible working pattern that will support us to connect more in person, whilst continuing to provide the flexibility that we know you value and maintain the benefits we have experienced from blended working. All colleagues will be expected to spend at least two days each week working in the office and should expect to come together more than this on a regular basis, as needed, on any given week, this will be driven by role, business priorities, workload requirements, or to enable us to work more effectively together.
