Tackling economic inequality

BLOCKPHISH has several initiatives in place to support economic inequality including, but not limited to, the following:

Reference MAC 2.2/MAC 2.3 - we continually support our staff in training and upskilling to attain certifications and accreditations in cyber security which is a growing area with significant skills shortages. This has included employing candidates who are the 'right fit' for our organisation without any prior professional experience and investing in their development and qualifications to become cyber security consultants. We are also a member of the NCSC CyberFirst Bursary Scheme and, as well as seeking to offer placements to students, we promote CyberFirst activities through our social channels, have sponsored the CyberFirst awards and have spoken at CyberFirst events.

Reference MAC 3.1 - our supply chains are made up of other SMEs and start-ups as well as larger organisations. Whilst we are a London based agency, where feasible, we engage with smaller organisations outside of the capital to ensure that there is an economic advantage across the country. A recent example of this is where we used a designer to create some collateral for an event we were attending. The designer was not London based and worked in the north of the UK.

Equal opportunity

BLOCKPHISH has an Equal Opportunity and Diversity Policy in place which is reviewed annually by our Partners. The policy is available on the intranet for all staff to access and the key principles of it are outlined in our Staff Handbook. More practically, we have several initiatives in place to support equal opportunity in the workplace including, but not limited to, the following:

Reference MAC 6.1 / MAC 6.2 - BLOCKPHISH has documented and inclusive recruitment practices in place from advertising a role through to working with our employees on their professional and personal development plans. Our interview process evaluates the candidates' competencies against the role requirements and is a structured three stage process. The Senior Leadership Team are also working with an external consultant to develop a hiring strategy to increase, amongst other things, the number of females into our organisation. We have also recently hired a female Head of Operations into the Senior Leadership Team.

We continually invest in our staff to achieve industry recognised certifications as part of their ongoing development, enabling them to develop new skills. Equally, we support our contractors to attain higher paid work; we have paid the cost for several of our contract staff to attain advanced security clearance to enable them to work on new projects, increasing their exposure to more specialist work, thus increasing their rate of pay.

Wellbeing

BLOCKPHISH takes the wellbeing of our staff very seriously and, despite being a small company, we have several initiatives in place to support wellbeing including, but not limited to, the following:

Reference MAC 7.1 - all BLOCKPHISH staff have access to a health and wellbeing package as part of their company benefits. This
includes:
- 24/7 confidential access to an online GP;
- 24/7 access to mental health resources, which includes access to professional and qualified counsellors 'in the moment' support or referral to structured therapy (up to six sessions);
- referral to a range of information / signposting services including health - including menopause information and support - legal, money and debt information and complimentary will writing service;
- access to an online eye screening test;
- gym discount;
- discounts for dining, shopping, travel, leisure activities across various outlets.

In addition to this, staff also have a private healthcare plan and private company pension as part of their package.

Our culture around the importance of wellbeing does not stop with our staff. We continually have regular 'coffee mornings' with our contracted staff to ensure they have the support they require on client projects from both a practical and psychological point of view. We include them as part of our team, inviting them to social events and to monthly team meetings.
