What does your place of work do to help its colleagues maintain work-life balance?
Fairly flexible working hours for the motor trade, our rotation means we get one full weekend off out of three and within our team we are flexible with shift swaps to help each other out when needed. We also have a rotation of early starts and late finishes.
How do you know you are making a difference?
We review our performance in a daily sales meeting and all figures are discussed so we can clearly see the benefit we are making to the business. I also receive regular feedback from my customers to confirm this.

Find a job that will turn into a lifelong career, somewhere that has serious progression opportunities and somewhere that you won’t hate going to work every morning.
