As part of the Trust Index鈩� survey, colleagues are able to add comments anonymously, with one stating: 鈥淭his is the first company I have ever worked at that genuinely does what they say they are going to do. When they say they are flexible, they mean it. When they say they provide opportunities, they mean it. When they say they care about a work/life balance, they mean it. It’s been refreshing to join a company that cares, rather than making promises in a job advert and never hearing of them again once you start.鈥�
