Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change
Stephen Matthews & Associates Limited enforce a paper free workplace, ensuring all communications and activity are conducted via mail/online facilities (teams, zoom etc..) where possible, we also strongly encourage the use of technology as an enabler of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions which is why Stephen Matthews & Associates Limited have used a hybrid/remote working model for many years. As an organisation we recognise the impact unnecessary travel can have on the environment and achievement of wider environmental goals.

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery
The ways of working post Covid has had a huge impact on the workplace and social interactions, from our perspective in line with the UK we have come to terms with the need to live with COVID and understand this can be extremely difficult for some, who have or are suffering from COVID-19 and are also anxious for themselves and the vulnerability of others. We continue to support individuals with specific requirements to ensure mental wellbeing and promote a good working environment through a number of different activities, which promote healthy well-being and socialisation wherever safe and possible to do so.

We have adopted a mixture of hybrid and fully remote working for colleagues, to allow those the flexibility of working however they feel best and most comfortable as we understand this allows productivity across our organisation. We also understand the constraints COVID-19 can have across PMO/BAU teams at organisations we currently operate, therefore we ensure we provide the best possible service and provide cover wherever needed and possible to ensure there is no detrimental impact to service due to COVID-19.
