2023About us
For as long as we can remember (and we’ve been around for over 30 years) organisations have struggled to deliver digital change. That isn’t a criticism, it’s the reality, we get it, it is difficult. Technology continues to change, user expectations (and those of your colleagues) continue to rise, meanwhile you often don't have the time or the right expertise to get the next project over the line. That is where we come in.
Our purpose is simple. We make the improbable, possible in everything we do. Why? Leighton are on a mission to help businesses and their customers thrive by building high-performing teams and developing successful software applications. To do this we need go-getters and thinkers, we need Agile Delivery Managers and Technologists. We need people who want to make a difference for our customers. That is where you come in.
Flexible working at Leighton
Flexible working at Leighton is based on a culture of trust and empowerment, we recognise that flexible working means something different to everyone and so work on the basis that if you're delivering and you and your customers are happy, it's working! Most of our team are placed on customer projects so considering the impact of your flexible choices on them, and the team you're working with is important too. As everyone works remotely, we also create regular opportunities both on-line and in-person to meet and connect with your Leighton colleagues, many of these events are optional so you can pick and mix what you need to thrive.
Approach to diversity & inclusion
Colleague feedback on our diversity and inclusion efforts has been really positive but as a Senior Leadership Team we know we could be more intentional in our efforts, we've recently partnered with #poweredbydiversity to help us understand more about strengths we can build on and opportunities for improvement. This work will drive a more intentional strategy for us, especially as we continue to scale. We've started more earnest conversations about allyship and neurodiversity recently and we've recognised that diversity is lacking in our leadership and support teams. Recognising the issue is the first step in addressing it.
What do we think of Leighton?
It is not a surprise to see that Leighton received such a high FlexScore - they offer a huge array of benefits and there is a clear emphasis on trusting and empowering their employees. If you're looking for a remote company that recognises that flexibility is a spectrum, we would definitely recommend checking out Leighton!
