Flexibility that enables performance
Flexibility at WTW is built around outcomes and collaboration – not location or fixed schedules. This allows colleagues to adapt their work in a way that supports both performance and wellbeing.
As Kathleen Marini, Internal Communications & Change Management Manager in Rewards Data Intelligence (U.S.), explains:
“We maintain a high standard of work by focusing on quality and outcomes, rather than where the work happens. This enables people to choose the working style that suits them best, while staying focused, consistent and effective.”
This approach gives colleagues ownership over how they work while continuing to deliver meaningful results.
Making flexibility work in real life
Flexibility also supports the realities of everyday life, helping colleagues stay engaged while managing personal priorities.
For Louise Carlqvist Byrne, Senior Director in Executive Compensation & Board Advisory in Sweden, it’s essential: “Flexibility is invaluable for me, as it allows me to balance the demands of a young family while also accommodating work responsibilities that often extend beyond traditional office hours.”
The ability to adjust her schedule means she can respond to both personal and client needs with confidence and focus: “This adaptability also gives me the opportunity to incorporate exercise into my day, which helps me maintain energy levels over time and boost creativity and efficiency.”
Shaping your career around your priorities
Flexibility at WTW goes beyond how you work – it extends to how your career evolves. Colleagues can shape their roles around their strengths, interests and changing priorities over time.
For Anja Pempelfort, Managing Director in Work, Rewards & Careers in Germany, flexibility has been central to her career journey: “Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to shape my role to my strengths and preferences, whether that meant focusing on project leadership, innovating new solutions or developing and leading teams.”
This adaptability enables colleagues to continue building their skills while responding to changing business needs: “Balancing high-impact work with personal priorities has been possible thanks to the understanding and support I’ve received at WTW”, mentions Anja.
Building a sustainable career
Combined with a global culture, flexibility helps colleagues build careers in ways that work for them. It’s an approach that encourages both individual success and long-term impact, helping people stay motivated, engaged and ready to take on new challenges as their careers evolve.
