 Putting People First.

Benefits

The company is a People First company and wellbeing is at the forefront of their culture. They recognise the importance of work-life balance and flexible working and provide their staff amazing benefits. Some of these benefits include:

• Generous      Annual Leave Policy: They recognise everyone needs a well-deserved break. They      provide their employees with 5 weeks of annual leave, fully available at      the start of each year. In addition to this, they have introduced their      5-Year Recharge benefit which allows all employees an additional 2 weeks      of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.

• Flexible      Working: They know that the ‘ideal’ work-life balance will vary from      person to person and change at different stages of their working lives. To      accommodate this, they have implemented a hybrid working policy and      introduced more flexibility around taking unpaid leave.

• Corporate      Responsibility Days: Their world is important to us, so all their      employees get 3 every year to help social and environmental causes and      increase their impact on the communities that mean the most to us.

• Wellbeing      Fund: They want to encourage all employees to take charge and prioritise      their own wellbeing. They’ve introduced their annual People Fund to      support this by offering every individual a fund to support and manage      their wellbeing through an activity of their choice.
