Our remote working program stands out in the financial services industry due to its unique and innovative approach to work location flexibility. Unlike many traditional financial firms that maintain rigid work structures, we offer a balanced model that empowers employees to choose their preferred work setting. This level of flexibility is not commonly seen in the financial sector, where strict office-based operations have historically been the norm.
At Journey Capital, we prioritize work location flexibility, recognizing its significance in today’s world. Our approach centers on providing employees with the autonomy to choose their preferred work setting. Employees who thrive in a home office are welcome to work from home, while those who benefit from the office environment can opt to work there at their convenience.
Our remote working strategy was crafted with the active participation of our team and reflects our dedication to creating a balanced work-life environment that truly meets the needs of our people. By engaging directly with our team, we have developed policies that are not only effective but also widely embraced, ensuring that our people feel supported, valued, and trusted.
What makes our program distinctive is the seamless integration of flexibility with structured in-person interactions through monthly Anchor Days. Each department is encouraged to participate in these in-office days, which are dedicated to knowledge-sharing and team-building activities.
This hybrid approach ensures that while employees enjoy the benefits of remote work, they also have regular opportunities for face-to-face collaboration and community building. This blend of remote and in-person work supports a cohesive company culture and fosters stronger team relationships. This is critical to maintaining a cohesive and collaborative culture, which is important for our long-term success.
Our senior management recognizes that a one-size-fits-all approach is not conducive to maximizing employee potential or satisfaction. By advocating for policies that respect individual preferences our leadership has set the tone for a supportive and flexible work environment.
Our success has also been recognized externally. We are certified as a Great Place to Work in Canada, with 97% of our employees affirming their positive experiences. This recognition reflects our commitment to creating a workplace that truly values and nurtures its people. Our strategy is more than just a set of policies; it’s a commitment to our employees’ well-being.
By prioritizing flexibility and fostering a supportive culture, we are not only enhancing our employees’ work experience but also driving the continued success of our company.
