Did you know all employees now have the legal right to request flexible working? You can request a change to the numbers of hours you work, when you start or finish work, the days you work or where you work. We're pleased to see this new legislation come into play as we believe that flexible working is key to helping people balance work, life and preparing for the future they want. It's good for employees, employers and the economy! You can find out more about flexible working here: www.thephoenixgroup.com/careers/flexible-working/
Congratulations to the 757 Career Ready students who graduated across Scotland recently. Our wonderful colleagues volunteered to mentor 152 students on a 4-week paid internship, helping them gain valuable work experience and learn about the types of career they could pursue. We loved supporting this year’s Career Ready programme, because we believe all young people from all backgrounds deserve the opportunity to access a rewarding career to help them prepare for the future they want. Our CEO, Rakesh Thakrar plays a pivotal role in supporting this initiative: ‘We're proud to work with Career Ready, providing students with valuable mentorship and insight into our business. After measuring the impact of this programme we have doubled the number of opportunities that we offer in 2024 and I look forward to meeting our new Career Ready students during their 4-week internship' We hope the students enjoyed the graduation celebrations as much as we did!
