Ways of Working

Our people benefit from our flexible ways of working

Whether that’s in one of our offices designed for ‘activity based working’, the (lack of) formal dress code or where and when we choose to work.

Activity based working (ABW) is about how people interact in our physical spaces. How we engage with colleagues and clients. How we seek and share knowledge. A number of our offices have been designed specifically for ABW working. These locations provide a variety of settings to accommodate the different activities and the optimal conditions for doing them.

We also have other ways of working at Beazley:

• Where you work -our ways of working are designed to balance flexibility with the benefits of coming together in person. Colleagues are expected to spend time in the office in a way that reflects their role and how they work with others. 

  For many roles, this means around two days a week in the office. For market‑facing roles, there is a higher expectation of around three days a week, reflecting the importance of in‑person collaboration with brokers, clients and partners. 

  If you are exploring a role with us, your hiring manager can talk you through what this looks like in practice. 

  Our approach to ways of working continues to evolve, and we aim to be open and transparent about expectations throughout the recruitment process.

• When you work – we trust you to flex your time each day to deliver excellence to your stakeholders, support our culture of collaboration as well as giving you more ownership of your day.
• Dress for the day – you’re in control of what you wear to work based on your day ahead.
• Simply, our approach to flexibility is designed to give you choice about how you work. After all, we want to make sure you enjoy your day and are empowered to do the best job you can.
