  Wellbeing

  Staff wellbeing has always been core to the way that Metataxis works and something we take seriously. Staff are given the autonomy to work flexibly and manage their own hours to allow them to have a work/life balance that suits them. No member of staff is ever pressured to take on more work than they can manage and it is within their gift to decide which projects they accept or indeed decline depending on their circumstances. In addition, we also have a formal flexible working policy that allow staff to request a more structured flexible working pattern in cases of parental and care responsibilities. Support for our colleagues is built into our work; no member of staff is ‘left alone’, with a director being assigned to every project to provide oversight and support. As a micro-company that works remotely, we have always understood the need and benefit that comes from opportunities to talk. This came more sharply into focus during the pandemic when opportunities for face-to-face meetings were radically diminished. To help alleviate this we have weekly scheduled ‘touch base’ meetings with all staff in addition to more ad hoc chats via Teams. There is no work agenda for these weekly meetings, it is simply a time to allow us to catch up and check in with each other.
