It also allows scope for people to optimise their personal productivity, for example by reducing unnecessary travel time.
Flex-it will support performance and personal wellbeing, and help deliver Skanska UK's aspiration to become a more inclusive workplace.
Flex-it marks an important step on Skanska UK's journey to creating and implementing new ways of working that reflect our changing times and circumstances. As part of its response to the pandemic, it identified that people can be more productive if they’re flexible in how they work, for example by adapting their core hours to avoid rush-hour travel. The company’s investment in digital technologies such as Office 365, has been a key enabler in this change.

It also helps us deliver on our pledge to be carbon neutral by 2045 by cutting the time our employees spend travelling to and from work."
