Ways of Working Template
Ways of Working Template




At Samuels Donegan, we know that no two people work the same, and that’s exactly how we like it.
We believe that creating a truly inclusive workplace starts with understanding and respecting each other’s individual styles, preferences, and quirks. From the early birds to the deep thinkers, the email-lovers to the meetings-minimisers, we all bring something different to the table, and that diversity in how we work is a strength worth celebrating.
That’s why we use a 'Ways of Working' template with every new hire. It’s a simple but powerful tool that helps teams learn how to support each other from day one.
This isn’t just an onboarding doc. It’s a conversation starter. A team builder. A tool for psychological safety, clarity, and connection.
Whether you're a growing business or a tight-knit team, feel free to download our template and make it your own. Because when people feel understood, they do their best work, and we all thrive.
