Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

As a company who delivers its services and solutions remotely, OfficeLabs carbon footprint is lower than the average SME – we do not require our people to commute daily into central locations, thereby reducing this aspect to global warming.
As an employer, we encourage carbon-negative approaches to life, and encourage alternatives to motor vehicles when office-based meetings are held.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

As a remote-based employer, delivering technical services and solutions, OfficeLabs continued working throughout Covid-19 and lockdowns.
During the pandemic, and since the end of lockdowns, OfficeLabs have seen its business grow, including with international clients, and has recruited additional people.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

OfficeLabs are primarily an employer who delivers services through remote working.
This working practice reduces the costs and logistics of commuting, which is often a barrier to employment for lower-income and/or rural communities.
OfficeLabs provide the equipment to ensure employees can perform their work properly, and we provide training to help all employees develop their skills and experience to improve their quality of life.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

OfficeLabs are an equal opportunities employer: we employ people according to their suitability for the role dependent upon their skills, abilities, and behaviours, not their characteristics.
We are proud to employ people across the demographic diaspora, including people with disabilities and provide the equipment all people need to perform their work.
We do not tolerate abusive or discriminatory actions or behaviours from or towards any person.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

OfficeLabs values its people and understands the need to create working environments that support the needs of its employees.
As a company who primarily deliver our services through remote-working, we have weekly 1:1 check-ins with our colleagues, and hold weekly, company-wide meetings to ensure every person is valued and engaged.
After the prolonged spell of Covid-19 lockdowns, we recently began re-introducing office-based working facilities for employees who request them to ensure people have real-person engagements and do not feel isolated.
We also actively support our people with their charitable and voluntary works.
