  Equal opportunity

  We’ve built a comprehensive career ladder for our employees, making it very clear what expectations we have at each level of employment. Our salary model is tied directly to that career ladder, to promote fairness of remuneration across the company: people doing equivalent work are compensated at the same level. When internal promotions are available, we run an application process. Training opportunities are made available equitably.; ; We’ve worked to eliminate gender coded language from our job ads, and where possible we try to ensure our hiring panels include individuals from underrepresented groups, particularly where the candidate themselves is from such a group.

  Wellbeing

  Scale Factory staff have access to a group Vitality health insurance plan promoting physical health and fitness, as well as an Employee Assistance Plan offering counselling and other mental health support. ; ; Every employee has a regular one-to-one relationship with a line manager who’s looking out for their wellbeing, and we’ve trained a number of people as Mental Health First Aiders to respond to any mental health challenges.; ; Although our workforce works primarily from their own homes, we provide each employee with a fund to cover the costs of devices and furniture to set up an ergonomic workstation.
