Ways of Working Template

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.

It’s a simple tool designed to help everyone share how they like to work, their communication preferences, what helps them thrive, and what others should know to work well with them.

This isn’t about over-engineering relationships. It’s about making the implicit explicit so we can work together more effectively. When people know how you operate best, it reduces friction, builds clarity, and creates stronger working relationships faster.

Whether you’re new to the team or have worked together for years, this is a great way to:

• Understand each other’s working styles

• Prevent unnecessary misunderstandings

• Build psychological safety from the start

• Create a more human way of working together
