SRA | Cool Office
A new way of working for SRA
Nobody knew that a Corona crisis was coming, when the staff of SRA moved into their new office in De Meern, mid-December 2019. Because the new way of working made it possible to work independently of time and place, adapting to the quarantine situation was a piece of cake.
A new way of working
With the move to the new office and the introduction of the 'new way of working', SRA embarked on a new phase. The organization not only became more flexible and efficient but all staff were given also more trust responsibility and freedom to complete the work within agreed frameworks. Employees are supported by a transparent work environment with different types of workplaces, where you can choose the most adequate workplace anywhere, anytime.
Future-proof
The changes are necessary for SRA to be future-proof. That means responding flexibly and adapting to changing market developments and new technologies. Keywords are: agility, innovation, product development, collaboration, looking beyond walls and creativity.
Work where you want
With the advent of new digital possibilities, it is no longer always necessary to work in fixed places. Everyone can nowadays always and everywhere contribute in the office, at home or elsewhere. Flexible working also means that we do not own a workplace in the office, but all the facilities and work in an activity-based way; we work in the most suitable place and switch places when the activity requires it. This means employees decide where, when, with whom and how they work, and teams decide for themselves how they use the work environment.
Progressive
This new way of working puts SRA on the map as one of the most progressive associations of accounting firms in the Netherlands. Employees developed the so-called SRA Compass with four cardinal points, each describing one of the key values of the new way of working: trust and responsibility, collaboration and knowledge sharing, daring to act, and fun and educational. To show this was meant seriously, management abolished the annual appraisal cycle and the associated compensation scheme. From now on, the focus was on looking ahead at possibilities and opportunities. On the way to a new culture with a 'growth mindset'.
