Fighting climate change
We have actively supplied training to our staff and encourage all our teams to engage with good practice, including being aware of our carbon footprint and making steps to change. We work remotely where possible, keeping our carbon footprint due to travel to a minimum. Company cars are 100% electric. We no longer have server farms but have adopted cloud computing as a shared resource for all our work.Covid-19 recovery
We understand that budgets have been tight following Covid-19 in the public sector, therefore we endeavour to work with departments to ensure that we can work in pragmatic ways to keep costs lower. We prefer to work remotely and expect this to be the case with most projects, unless there is a particular need to be on site, to ensure that expenses are lower and work collaboratively as far as possible to work with your own in-house teams rather than supply duplicate resource. We support staff who are recovering from Covid-19, allowing them to work remotely if they can, or providing support if they are not well enough.Tackling economic inequality
We endeavour to employ suitably qualified young people to train with us and this currently constitutes 10% of our workforce, with plans to grow proportionally with our growth over the next 18 months. Our remote working policy has also meant that staff do not have to be in London to work with our primarily London based customer base and we now have consultants based in York, Newcastle and other areas of the UK.Equal opportunity
We are committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our workforce, and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. We are also committed against unlawful discrimination of customers or the public. We provide equality, fairness and respect for all regardless of gender, race, nationality, disability or religion in terms of both respect, terms and conditions and pay. We always take seriously complaints of bullying, harassment, victimisation and unlawful discrimination by fellow employees, customers, suppliers, visitors, the public and any others in the course of the organisation's work activities.Wellbeing
We do not expect any of our employees to work long hours and expect them to maintain a work/life balance. Although some projects do demand out of hours working, we do have policies in place to ensure staff do not do this regularly and get adequate days out to make up for this. Overtime is shared among everyone. All are encouraged to take lunch and holidays and we take our duty of care to the people who work with us seriously. We try to get regular “face to face” events in the year to ensure the team works together happily and feels important to the company.
