We realise the importance of a life outside work and promote a healthy work-life balance for all our staff.

In addition, we understand that many of our staff have young children or other dependents and we endeavour to provide flexible working in line with our policies wherever possible, while ensuring that the needs of the business are met.

We are committed to improving internal working relationships and communication through regular all-staff meetings, a monthly DDaT Town Hall and the use of our brand new intranet called ‘Connect’.

In addition to this, our open-plan offices encourage communication and interaction between team members and the wider organisation.

We encourage everyone to take the time to complete relevant training exercises they are interested in and beneficial to their role. We run monthly ‘Focus Fridays’ which is dedicated time for the team to focus on their individual training and development.
