  Fighting climate change

  At Wavenet we recognise that we are accountable to more than just our shareholders. As a large business with a significant workforce and offices nationwide, we are working hard to incorporate considerations around sustainability into every business process, reducing our impact on the world around us. ; ; We understand our responsibility to society and the environment. Achieving the Ecovadis Gold certification validates our comprehensive approach spanning environmental concerns, ethical business practices, human rights, and sustainable procurement. Our journey towards Ecovadis Platinum by 2024 underscores our ongoing commitment to progress.; ; Innovation at Wavenet is synonymous with sustainability. Our product portfolio prioritises eco-conscious solutions, empowering customers to embrace sustainable technologies. Whether it's our hardware-free hosted voice systems or energy-efficient cloud computing solutions, we facilitate choices that minimise environmental impact and enhance operational efficiency. Our stringent processes ensure sustainability throughout the product lifecycle, from ethical sourcing practices to responsible disposal of legacy equipment in compliance with UK regulations.; ; People and processes are pivotal in our sustainability mission. Through a formal Carbon Reduction Plan, we rigorously monitor and mitigate our environmental footprint, engaging our workforce in initiatives aimed at conserving natural resources. Despite pandemic-induced reductions in business travel, we remain committed to sustainable mobility solutions. Our transition to hybrid and electric vehicles, coupled with employee incentives like the electric car scheme and Cycle to Work program, reflects our dedication to greener commuting alternatives.; ; Crucially, sustainability isn't just a top-down directive; it's ingrained in our corporate culture. Our workforce actively participates in planning and executing sustainability initiatives, with dedicated champions driving eco-friendly practices both in our offices and beyond. From recycling initiatives to lifestyle changes promoting environmental consciousness, our employees play a pivotal role in fostering a sustainable future, both within Wavenet and in their communities.

  Covid-19 recovery

  In the wake of the UK's exit from lockdown restrictions, Wavenet initiated a more flexible approach to workplace dynamics. Departing from the conventional mandate of requiring colleagues to be physically present in the office five days a week, the company encouraged a shift towards a hybrid model. Initially, colleagues were urged to return to the office for two days weekly, a measure subsequently extended to three days. This adjustment has yielded numerous benefits, notably fostering enhanced collaboration and bolstering team cohesion.; ; Acknowledging the concerns of colleagues hesitant to resume office attendance, Wavenet proactively conducted welfare meetings with them. These discussions served to elucidate individual apprehensions and collaboratively devise strategies to facilitate a smooth transition back to the office environment.; ; The employment environment has changed as the company has adopted a more flexible working style, with employees spending less hours in the office each week. This adjustment has reduced office congestion, making it easier to follow health-related social distancing guidelines. With fewer people in the workspace at once, colleagues may keep safe distances, reducing the risks of close contact. While new recruits are contractually designated the office as their permanent place of work, they are expected, in practice, to be physically present for a maximum of three days per week.; ; In response to the challenges precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Wavenet has expanded its benefits package. Notably, the introduction of an Employee Assistance Programme underscores the company's commitment to supporting the holistic well-being of its workforce. Furthermore, recognising the importance of nurturing emerging talent and contributing to community development, Wavenet has embarked on an initiative to onboard apprentices. This endeavour not only fuels the company's growth trajectory but also offers invaluable work experience and formal qualifications to aspiring individuals seeking entry into the job market.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Wavenet's commitment to economic equality and social responsibility was solidified in 2023 when we became a Living Wage Employer, guaranteeing all employees a wage that aligns with the actual cost of living in the UK. This dedication was reaffirmed in May 2024 when the company implemented a 10% increase in line with rising living costs.; ; The Living Wage Foundation's meticulous methodology is the bedrock of our fair wage practices. Each year, they rigorously compute the cost of a standard shopping basket, encompassing essentials like groceries, energy bills, childcare, and transportation. This thorough analysis enables them to determine the actual cost of living, guiding Living Wage Employers like Wavenet in setting appropriate pay rates for our employees.; ; As advocates for the Living Wage movement, Wavenet and the Living Wage Foundation empower individuals and families to break free from poverty cycles and flourish with dignity. This partnership not only champions fair compensation but also encourages other businesses to adopt equitable wage practices, fostering community upliftment.; ; Recognising the importance of nurturing talent, Wavenet has welcomed apprentices into its ranks, providing opportunities for young individuals struggling to find their career paths. Emphasising workplace diversity, the company acknowledges the role of varied perspectives in driving growth and prosperity. With core values centred on innovation, change embracement, diversity appreciation, and social and environmental responsibility, Wavenet collaborates with clients across sectors, both large and small, to innovate products and enhancements that spur growth opportunities.; ; By prioritising fair compensation, talent development, and diversity, Wavenet not only upholds its values but also enhances employee motivation, productivity, and societal equity. This holistic approach underscores the company's commitment to fostering a fair and thriving workplace environment while actively contributing to broader social and economic betterment.

  Equal opportunity

  Wavenet proudly upholds the principles of equal opportunity employment, actively encouraging individuals from diverse backgrounds to apply for positions within the company. Embracing inclusivity, we provide support to colleagues with disabilities and long-term health issues, fostering an environment where every individual feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.; ; Internal progression is a cornerstone of our organisational culture, as evidenced by our practice of advertising vacant roles internally and providing comprehensive support for colleagues' career development endeavours. We prioritise the advancement of our workforce by funding qualifications and offering tailored training programs aimed at enhancing skills and competencies.; ; As champions for equitable compensation, Wavenet pays all employees the real living wage, above the government-mandated minimum wage, to help them afford rising costs. Our true living wage employer certification shows our commitment to economic fairness and employee well-being.; ; With a workforce exceeding 950 individuals, Wavenet is obligated to report and publish our annual gender pay gap, a responsibility we take seriously. Over the past year, concerted efforts have resulted in a marginal reduction of the gender pay gap, reflecting our ongoing commitment to fostering gender equality within the workplace.; ; Prior to commencing employment, Wavenet diligently verifies that all prospective staff are legally entitled to work in the United Kingdom, adhering to regulatory requirements and ethical standards. Our policies and procedures are meticulously crafted to ensure a non-discriminatory and respectful working environment, where every employee feels valued and safe to voice concerns without fear of reprisal.; ; Embedded within our organizational ethos is a steadfast commitment to ethical conduct and integrity, as outlined in the The Wavenet Code of Conduct. This commitment extends to interactions with employees, partners, and customers alike, reinforcing our dedication to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and ethical behaviour in all facets of our operations.

  Wellbeing

  At Wavenet, the wellbeing of our colleagues is at the heart of everything we do. We're committed to providing a supportive environment where every team member can thrive both personally and professionally. Our comprehensive range of employee benefits and schemes reflects this dedication to nurturing a holistic sense of wellbeing.; ; One of the cornerstones of our approach is ensuring access to top-tier healthcare through our private medical care program. This ensures that our employees and their families have access to prompt medical attention whenever needed. Additionally, our life assurance coverage offers peace of mind, providing financial security to our team members and their loved ones.; ; We understand the importance of work-life balance, which is why we offer a holiday buying scheme. This empowers our employees to tailor their time off to suit their individual needs, enabling them to recharge and return to work refreshed. Our cycle to work scheme not only promotes physical activity but also supports eco-friendly commuting options, contributing to personal and environmental wellbeing simultaneously.; ; In alignment with our commitment to sustainability, we've implemented an electric car scheme to incentivise the adoption of greener transportation alternatives, reducing emissions and supporting environmentally conscious choices.; ; Mental health support is paramount, which is why we've established an employee assistance programme. This confidential counselling service provides resources to navigate personal and professional challenges, ensuring that our team members feel supported and valued.; ; Furthermore, we've trained Mental Health First Responders in each office. These individuals are equipped to offer immediate support and guidance to colleagues in times of need, ensuring that mental health remains a priority throughout our organisation.; ; We also provide fresh fruit in each office, promoting wellbeing through healthy eating habits. Additionally, we welcome dogs into the office every Friday, recognising the positive impact they have on morale and stress relief.
