We are proud that we encourage open and transparent communication channels across the business. We promote active listening and collaboration in meetings and it’s important that everyone has a voice and feels comfortable to share their ideas. Contracting at the start of meetings is encouraged as it defines the purpose of the meeting whilst ensuring everyone has a voice. As a virtual company we collaborate with online tools such as Mural which enhances communication, captures thoughts and ensure everyone has the opportunity to contribute.
We share our strategy and invite the whole organisation to build upon that strategy. We are transparent in business updates, hold regular meetings and share comms to ensure everyone in the company understands the vision, purpose and direction we are going in. We encourage story telling and knowledge sharing when it relates to where we are going through regular Community Connects and Marketplace meetings.
We have spent a lot of time getting to know each other through personality profiles. Being aware of our personality preference helps us to understand the way each of us learns, communicates and thinks.
We actively embrace and promote diversity and inclusion within Oxford which ensures that all individuals, regardless of their race gender, age, sexual orientation or ability, feels welcomed and included.
Writing our own objectives and aligning them with our personal and professional goals ensures our employees feel a connection to what they want to achieve professionally.
We also offer all employees coaching where they can connect with experienced professionals who provide guidance and support in career development.
We recognise the importance of work-life balance and provide flexible working arrangements, such as remote working, telecommuting, unlimited unpaid time off and a flexible schedule.
Our values are clearly communicated and threaded through our organisation by aligning them with our strategy. In addition, during the recruitment process we assess candidates not only for their skills but also for their alignment with our company values. This threads through to onboarding and within our Company Handbook.
In addition, we run a monthly happiness survey which helps us to understand how our community are feeling. The feedback received from the survey is shared internally, discussed during monthly leadership meetings and action is taken where needed.
Happiness surveys – We run monthly survey to understand how happy our community feels which gives the team the opportunity to give open feedback and voice their opinions, concerns and suggestions. The results of the surveys are shared openly, discussed and acted upon where needed.
In a remote organisation it’s important to regularly get together either virtually or in person so we ensure there is regular time in the diary to connect, get to know each other and have fun.
Our whole organisation works remotely which helps promote a work-life balance and flexibility in the working day.
