How we work
- At Sherpa we trust our teams to deliver in their roles. This is reflected in how we work.
- We encourage autonomy. We have a clear structure, roles, and accountabilities, whilst encouraging our people to get involved in broader projects, helping each other, and learning new things. We trust our teams to get on with what they need to do, and we measure to outputs and achievement of our business goals.
- We operate a flexible approach to working hours, through a core hours model with the flexibility to choose when you work outside of these hours. As long as our clients’ needs are met, we are happy!
- We operate a hybrid approach to working. Monday and Thursday are collaboration days when we work together in the office, with the rest of the week being personal choice. Some of the team chose to come in every day, whilst others enjoy the flexibility to work from home. All we ask is that everyone ensures they make time to help others, particularity those new to the business or industry.
- We are digitally savvy and adopt the latest tools and tech to make our lives easier, we are always open to suggestions and new ideas on how we can improve our processes.
