This job is good for my own personal growth
Employee's wellbeing is supported. They offer a flexitime scheme as well as short term flexible arrangements. If employees wish to take time off in lieu rather than being paid after working additional hours, this is also generally available. Should employees wish to attend such things as medical appointments, allowances are also made for these.
I feel that my manager talks openly and honestly with me
