Perpetual’s flexibility program is based on the belief that all roles can be performed flexibly. This has been brought to life thanks to a strong culture built on trust and focussed on performance.

Leaders at Perpetual are committed to flexibility. They are advocates, champions and role models, with their interests solely on outcomes rather than time spent at the office.

With a growing population of people taking advantage of formal flexibility arrangements and all team members able to access informal flexibility, Perpetual’s employee engagement score saw a lift this year, increasing five points to 71%, with flexibility a key driver.

Also this year, Perpetual committed to pay superannuation to its employees on unpaid parental leave and made those payments in June.

Flexibility is a strength for Perpetual, delivering benefits for its people, clients and shareholders.
