Flexible working approach
We perform at our best when we feel trusted and are able to choose an approach to working that suits us best which is why Emerald offers fully flexible hybrid working. We have no core hours so you really can work when suits you best. All we ask is that you be fully transparent with your availability and ensure business needs are met.
We have various offices across the UK which you can choose to work from or you can be fully remote. We also support part time working and compressed hours.
Company FlexScore™
Scoring against our flexibility index (1 = not at all flexible, 100 = couldn’t be more flexible, 51 is average) using a number of parameters to assess flexibility such as working from home, hours, frequency of travel, benefits, etc.
Employee FlexScore™
Scoring against our employee perception index (1 = not seen as flexible, 100 = couldn’t be happier with the flexibility, 51 is average) using a number of more emotional / perception based questions to understand whether employees feel supported and offered what they want. The areas we cover are work-life balance / managerial support / flexible benefits / working environment / and many others.
I like the confidence and autonomy I have to deliver my work regardless of the hour I work. This makes it much easier for people who work with time zones and assist clients in several countries.

Approach to diversity & inclusion
We believe passionately in equitable representation, influence and opportunity for all; regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, gender, age or socioeconomic background. But the truth is that within Emerald and our communities we still have a long way to go. We must consistently invest our time and resources to ensure that our workplace is inclusive and accessible by design, and that we are playing our part in driving change within our communities.
Our action plan for diversity, inclusion, and accessibility is sponsored by the executive team and is driven by a network of employees across the group who are empowered to make sure that our strategy remains meaningful and relevant to our communities around the world.
What do we think of Emerald Group?
We loved working with Emerald Group. Their passion for flexibility is clear, they believe their employees should strike a healthy work-life balance. This is always difficult in a larger business. However Emerald is clearly succeeding. Offering flexible hours, a co-working/office space plus remote working Emerald Group employees are spoilt for choice!
