Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

We’re investing in strategies to become carbon neutral through the schemes operated externally. Employees are encouraged to use modes of public transport where they are required to travel for business, or to care share. Where feasible, meetings are also facilitated remotely utilising a number of online communication tools. Day to day, more of our employees are working from home, reducing our overall carbon emissions; but when travelling into the office we also promote use of the company’s cycle to work scheme, along with rail and tram season tickets. Further we aim to purchase products and services from third party suppliers that share similar environmental positioning goals as our own.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

We’re mindful of differing needs of all sections of the community when it comes to employment opportunities - we don’t use any auto-decision making in our recruitment process and no vacancies or roles require a University degree which could otherwise limit employment opportunities for those in deprived areas. Offering true flexible working, whether it be reduced hours or altered working hours to fit with childcare and increased working from home. A training and development fund is provided each year for employees to take advantage of and an allotted number of days which can be used for Continued Professional Development, to gain recognised qualifications. Training days are hosted for clients to join and learn new skills (outside of projects) and we continue to operate ‘Lunch and Learn’ sessions internally, for employees to not only learn topics relevant to their role, but their knowledge across wider business services.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

During employment our workforce receive a range of benefits that aid their financial, physical and mental wellbeing. This includes flexible working hours, cycle to work scheme, life cover and annual subscription to Leafyard (mental wellbeing platform). We have a health cash plan to encourage employees to keep healthy, accessing annual health checks and the ability to claim back for everyday health costs (e.g. eye tests, dental etc.); in addition to access to remote GP services and private health care cover. Our employee assistance programme includes a wellbeing portal which gives all employees access to support for stress, mental health difficulties, financial and legal advice. Across all technologies offered, we make active contributions to digital communities and have fostered great relationships within our partner network; both of which our employees are encouraged to be part of as subject to their role and ongoing CPD.
