Improving quality of life Arcadis sees flexible working as a basic requirement, not a benefit reserved for a few. All our people want to feel they can be themselves and that fulfilling work doesn’t cost them in other areas of their lives – from family and caring to studying and sports. We are working with all parts of our business to create more part-time and flexible working opportunities which we hope will attract greater diversity. This includes roles at all levels of Arcadis, including management and leadership level where we are creating positive role models. We have successfully moved away from work as a physical place, instead embracing the notion of work as an activity. Part-time and flexible working empower our people to own their time and performance. We have created an environment where output and achievement are the measures used, not the amount of time you sit at your desk.
