Work life

One of the many things that the 2020/21 pandemic has taught us is that we must re-examine the very foundations of how we approach work. It’s still too soon to claim that its lessons have been taught and learnt – no neat, clear textbooks are available. So, nobody truly knows yet where the balance between remote and office-based work will settle.

As a firm, we have never promised to deliver a perfect work/life balance for everyone. But we do try to provide you with an environment that recognises that both will be important to you, probably in varying degrees, over the course of your career. To help you make your work productive, satisfying and rewarding, we provide all the infrastructure and operational tools you will ever need. This now includes tried and tested systems to sustain 100% remote working – if that is agreed to be best for you and the firm.

However, we also try to ensure that not everything is about work – whether in an office or at home. The collaboration we encourage and achieve in our work will always extend to other activities –socially engaging, sporting and unashamedly recreational.

Responsible Recruitment

We pride ourselves in having created a culture that is mature, collaborative and professional, but not pompous or KPI obsessed. We value substance rather than appearance, working together in mutual trust rather than in line with rule-based conformity.

Over the last 12-months, we’ve taken significant strides in our Responsible Recruitment journey. This involves many things, from our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Wellness and the Environment. We’ve introduced several new initiatives and have plans for many more in the coming months.

Heart of the City

We’re making a positive impact as proud members of Heart of the City. The organisation has partnered with more than 1,000 businesses across London to kickstart their journeys to help their people, business and the planet.

Wellness

We are introducing our Wellness Pledge, which is our commitment to ensuring the wellness of our employees. This pledge includes the introduction of a dedicated Mental Health First Aider.

Living Wage Employer

We have been accredited as a real Living Wage employer. We’re delighted to have joined the movement of almost 9,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to going further than the government minimum to make sure all staff earn enough to live on.

Recite Me Toolbar

As part of our commitment to D,E&I we are now digitally inclusive! We provide Recite Me assistive technology to enable our web visitors to customise their digital experience to suit their needs. Web users can now access our online information and services barrier-free!

Everyone is given a LinkedIn Recruiter Professional Licence, as well as access to a wide variety of Job Boards and CV Databases. We use Bullhorn CRM, Broadbean ATS, Sourcebreaker Search and Paiger to ensure processes are streamlined as much as possible.
