We value the contribution that our employees make to DNASTREAM, but we also recognise that there is life beyond work.  We are keen to try and support everyone to strike a balance that enables them to be effective at work whilst making time for family, friends and other interests.

Our employees are all professionals and are treated accordingly.  We do not expect people to be tied to an office desk every day, or be required to go come into the office when it would be more effective to work remotely.  We also encourage our customers to adopt a flexible approach, whilst recognising that the demands of projects can at times place constraints on individuals' time. 

Our approach also makes good business sense.  By adopting a flexible working ethic we hope to:

• Improve the happiness and productivity of our workforce;
• Reduce staff turnover and recruitment costs;
• Gain access to skilled people returning to work; and
• Earn the long term loyalty of our valued staff.

To support a flexible approach to working, all of our employees are provided with the right technology to enable them to work from virtually anywhere.  Each employee is provided with:

• A high-specification laptop computer with MS Office software installed, plus any other software relevant to their role;
• An e-mail enabled mobile telephone;
• Mobile broadband for wireless internet access on-the-move; and 
• A web-accessible e-mail account.
