Fighting climate change

OfficeLabs are a Cloud-based IT solutions provider who deliver modern, effective IT solutions that can be accessed from anywhere with a connection to the internet. We provide flexible working solutions for our customers and our people that enable people to reduce their carbon consumption. Many of our people live considerable distances from our Head Office and our customer locations, and our solutions ensure that business can be conducted without the need for travel. Transport accounts for 21% of carbon emissions in the world, with road transport comprising 75% of that total. Covid lockdown restrictions reduced UK carbon emissions from transportation by 19%. Our solutions – as exemplified by our working practices, provide both the mechanism and proof that flexible working IT solutions can make a significant contribution towards fighting climate change by enabling our people and our customers to reduce their need for travel and energy intensive office space.

Covid-19 recovery

OfficeLabs are a Cloud-based IT solutions provider who deliver modern, effective IT solutions that can be accessed from anywhere with a connection to the internet. During Covid-19 lockdown, OfficeLabs saw a steady increase in custom from organisations who needed to implement the remote-working solutions we use and supply. During that period, OfficeLabs increased its permanent workforce by 25% and utilised contractors for workstreams that offered only short-term prospects. Since the end of Covid-19, OfficeLabs has increased its permanent employee numbers by 400%, doubling the workforce in the past 18 months alone. Some of the greatest aspects to our business, is that we have been able to provide permanent employment for three groups of people who are most affected by barriers to employment: those with disabilities and other chronic conditions for whom commuting would have been a barrier to work; those living in rural communities and not served by public transport or good road networks, and parents of school-aged children, for whom child arrangements may be either non-existent or beyond economic viability. OfficeLabs solutions promote the same ethos and capability to our customers so that they may be able to retain or recruit employees who might otherwise have been unduly impacted by Covid-19. OfficeLabs are able to demonstrate the value and efficiency of our work model and technology by using the products and services we supply. Our technology helps UK and international organisations provide viable employment opportunities to those who for whom outdated systems and working practices prevented flexible employment according to their circumstances.

Equal opportunity

OfficeLabs are a Cloud-based IT solutions provider who deliver modern, effective IT solutions that can be accessed from anywhere with a connection to the internet. With our Head Office based in Exeter, Devon, OfficeLabs are acutely aware that it can be difficult recruiting and retaining people whose personal circumstances may provide barriers to employment. Our IT solutions enable us to recruit and retain the people we need because of their capabilities regardless of their (protected) characteristics or personal circumstances. Our recruitment practices are based on capability and potential. We undertake all necessary background checks to ensure our people are not vulnerable to nefarious activities. People who might normally be excluded from employment or face insurmountable barriers to employment and/or progression are provided with flexibility, resources and support that they or their circumstances need to fulfil their potential. Our employment practices and IT remote-work solutions reduce personal, economic, environmental and social costs of working from a fixed location far from home. In 2020, we recruited our first person with multiple disabilities from a demographic that struggle with gaining and retaining employment, and with their input we became a Disability Confident Employer in 2022. Since 2021, OfficeLabs has doubled its workforce and seen its proportion of people with disabilities and/or from disadvantaged or minority groups increase to over 37%. Our approach to employee development is one of continual improvement, and we provide all our people with access to an array of training resources, and we fully encourage other developmental opportunities, such as charitable and voluntary work, and involvement in workstreams that complement their role and ambitions within the company. With more than 50% of our employees coming from demographics known to be under-represented in our industry, OfficeLabs is proud to be an equal opportunities employer.

Wellbeing

OfficeLabs are a Cloud-based IT solutions provider who deliver modern, effective IT solutions that can be accessed from anywhere with a connection to the internet. OfficeLabs live and breathe the technology we implement for our customers: our people use the same technology to work from locations and in a manner that is appropriate for them. With our Head Office based in Exeter, Devon, OfficeLabs are acutely aware that recruiting and retaining valued people who live across the UK and work remotely can exacerbate issues such as loneliness and feelings of disconnect for some people. For many years, OfficeLabs have convened regular online meetings with all our people to counteract the reality of home-based work, and we expanded those to twice-weekly in 2022: the first is primarily work-focused, and the second is primarily social – a virtual water/tea/coffee meeting point. The Senior Leadership also conduct regular one-to-one discussions with all staff to ensure their wellbeing is met and provide support whenever needed. In 2021, OfficeLabs launched an annual company gathering that comprised events to involve all our people in developing the strategy and plans, and activities to foster camaraderie and develop healthy inter-personal relationships. We also listened to our people and re-engaged facilities that enabled home-based employees to work from other locations to overcome feelings of isolation when they need. In 2022, OfficeLabs introduced a health package for our people that includes access to emotional and psychological health services, and we introduced a pre-Christmas holiday event that brings our people together in a hearty activity that places non-technical people with technical people in light-hearted competition. In 2024, we launched an events series called “Connected Futures” that demonstrates to other organisations how we and they can implement modern IT solutions in a people-centric manner.
