What is it like working from home full time?
For me, working from home has created a lot of benefits over the past year. It is great with flexible working hours, to allow me to spend time with my family and have a great work-life balance. It comes with its challenges; however, it’s also very rewarding. Glider does some really good things in the shape of Employee Voice, All Hands Meetings, and regular Staff away days. This really helps bond everyone as a company and helps to make connections you may not necessarily build when working in an office. Overall, working from home has truly reduced stress and changed the way I work for the better!
What does an average work day look like for your role?
It’s very difficult to describe an average work day in the life of a Risk and Compliance Manager. The day, week, or even month is a constantly changing environment. It’s fast-paced and has new challenges and problems. So, I find it’s key to be highly organised and adapt to the day, week, or month. On an average day, it would consist of deadlines with high-priority items that involve clients, client due diligence, and high-risk compliance items. Then, it would involve dealing with longer-term projects and shaping the future compliance frameworks for the company.
What do you like most about your job at Glider Technology?
There isn’t just one thing I like about my job, but working at Glider gives me flexibility, reward and most importantly, recognition for a job well done. Glider truly understands giving credit to people when it’s well deserved. The final factor is the human factor, as Glider has a great bunch of people working and more importantly, people who understand when life gets in the way. It’s that understanding that truly makes the difference.
