From 2022, we’re letting our team work from anywhere in the world (with a few limits) Before the pandemic, we never thought we’d work away from our London office, let alone from another country. One year later, we rolled out a policy that enables our team to work from anywhere (with a few limits). Here’s what we learnt doing it. As Chief of Staff at CharlieHR, I always considered myself to be someone who rolled with the punches, at least until the Covid pandemic hit. In April 2020, cooped up in my flat, I thought perhaps we’d hit a dead end. How would we help our team adjust to the new challenges of remote working? But as summer approached and restrictions started to ease, I found myself enjoying the flexibility and realized the team had gotten used to working from anywhere. And with a growing pool of candidates looking for remote opportunities, it was obvious we needed to change our ways of working.

We’re trialling a 4-day work week (but with one key difference) More and more progressive companies are switching to a 4-day work week as a way to help their team members live more fulfilling lives and become more engaged with their work. Which posed us the question — shall we follow suit? As it turns out, just copying what others do is never a good idea. In 2022, the companies that are thriving are the ones investing their time, resources and attention towards building a great place to work — one that values their teams’ wellbeing and personal fulfilment as a top priority. This has brought many forward-thinking companies to challenge old assumptions about the amount of time we spend at work. They introduced new, exciting ways of working that gave back more time to team members to spend outside of work — like the 4-day work week. At Charlie, we had always taken the Monday-to-Friday work week as a given, the ‘norm’. But after all norms were overturned with the pandemic, was the 4-day work week the way forward?
