Fighting climate change
Global 4 operates a paperless office and supports flexible working to minimise travel, which impacts the environment. Where possible, meetings are held virtually using either 8x8's video conferencing system or Microsoft Teams, which Global 4 have an integration into using 8x8. There are recycling bins across the office and this is actively encouraged across the business. Global 4 has recently renewed its company fleet with vehicles offering a lower CO2 emissions value than the previous mark.Covid-19 recovery
Global 4 operated a strict working from home policy during the pandemic, whilst maintaining an operational workforce with minimal use of the furlough scheme. Coming back into the office, Global 4 implemented a one-way system across the office with social distancing, antibacterial gels and dispensers, face masks were obligatory and a camera over the entry to the building alerted if someone wasn't wearing a mask or had a high temperature. We also took measures to ensure staff tested twice per week and submitted their results on our HR platform, isolating and working from home (assuming well enough) in the event of a positive result. Global 4 also supported Clients with free periods of rental during the difficult times. Thanks to its success, Global 4 has been growing and offering employment to support the increase in its workforce, and actively enrols its staff on apprenticeship courses to nurture their growth.Tackling economic inequality
Global 4 actively and regularly interrogates its supply chain to position itself to deliver the best products in the marketplace at the keenest commercials, represented by its accolade of Platinum Partner of 8x8, one of three in the country. We have created employment through the growth of the workforce and success of the business, actively enrolling staff onto apprenticeships to nurture their growth.Equal opportunity
Global 4 are an equal opportunities employer, who employ staff across multiple ethnicities and without any judgment.Wellbeing
Global 4 subscribe to BUPA's mental health service and actively encourage its staff to use the service at no cost. All management will perform a monthly one-to-one with their respective team members and the dedicated HR team have weekly check ups with new starters whilst they are getting settled into the organisation.
