Open GI, a leading insurance software company, says it cares about the person behind the employee. It recognises that having a fulfilled employee who is supported to flourish is better for the individual, the team, the organisation and beyond.
The Worcestershire-based company also has offices in offices in Winchester and Milton Keynes in the UK, along with Krakow, in Poland, and Skopje, in north Macedonia. Its employees are at the heart of Open GI's success and they feature strongly in its mission to become the technology partner and employer of choice for the general insurance market.
Open GI is committed to creating a more rewarding environment. Monthly livestreams, lead by chief executive Simon Badley, focus on the common purpose, as well as exploring learnings and celebrating successes. Strong collaborative partnerships are created between colleagues and teams and they are encouraged through cross-functional working groups and social interactions.
As a result of employee feedback, the company has introduced more flexible working practices. The Open Ways of Working policy enables managers to work with employees to determine hybrid working policies that work most effectively in their respective teams. It also empowers teams and individuals to seek out the best way of interacting with their customer group, which has resulted in several new inter-departmental working groups forming.
Feedback shows that this increased choice and flexibility demonstrates that the company trusts employees to be accountable for their work, is considerate of their work-life balance and shows its commitment to becoming a more sustainable organisation.

This organisation has a strong social conscience
The company hosted a "sustainability day" to raise awareness about how employees can be more eco-friendly, inside and outside work. During the event, Open GI launched its electric vehicle and hybrid car leasing scheme, through which employees can buy an EV or hybrid vehicle at a reduced price through salary sacrifice.
