Professional Training
Our Professional Training Programme is available for all of our employees (no matter the role or level of experience), striving to create a more diverse and inclusive environment.
Our programme supports role relevant learning and development during work hours. Employees are encouraged to discuss goals with their managers and agree a learning path to help them progress.
Wellbeing Training
Our Wellbeing Training Programme aims to aid personal development and wellbeing through a variety of over 500 courses. The courses can be taken in personal time via on-demand video and/or audio and they are also available in multiple languages.
Examples of available courses include photography, life-skills, managing stress, health & fitness, baking, learning another language and drawing.
The Wellbeing Committee
Our Wellbeing Committee was formed during the Covid-19 pandemic to help support our employees whilst adapting to working remotely; introducing some new ways of working to encourage our employees to prioritise their own wellbeing. Whilst there are no longer Covid restrictions, our work patterns have shifted to a hybrid style, so they are still relevant today!
Protect Lunch
Whilst working remotely, it is easy to miss taking a lunch break.
We implemented a company-wide 1 hour lunch break and encouraged employees to reschedule meetings accordingly.

Give Me 10
Back to back on-screen meetings are not very natural, everyone needs a break from the screen.
We implemented a limited meeting slot, at 20-minutes or 50-minutes. This enabled a break between meetings and continues to have a positive impact!

Flex for Families
Some of our routines and responsibilities have been unpredictable and different over the last few years!
We have fully supported all our employees by allowing flexibility to manage family life and responsibilities and work around each other.
