Keep up-to-date with our thoughts and opinions to do with internal communications and employee experience.
At Home, our vision is to make every employee experience a great one. But, unfortunately, sometimes the feeling we experience before work, especially on a Sunday evening, can be the total opposite. We’ve all had them at one time or another – those pit of your stomach work dreads…
Values shape culture. They verbalise “the way we do things around ‘ere”, guiding our actions and behaviours, empowering us to create the future we want to experience. But the future we want to experience may look very different now, to what it did pre-2020. With flexible working, a wider…
Bristol is a city steeped in history. More than just the ‘Mild, Mild West’, it’s spawned tarmac, Wallace and Gromit, Concorde, Banksy, hot air balloons, the SS Great Britain, Massive Attack – and of course, Home. This little corner of the UK has always suited us well. It’s progressive,…
