We recognise the importance
of achieving a balance between your work life and home life. We
do not encourage a long-hours culture, which we believe is detrimental to the
wellbeing of staff.
Family support
We have a range of benefits that include leave for
maternity, paternity or adoption; flexible working, family support initiatives
and time off to care for a dependant. Our maternity package includes enhanced
payments plus time off for antenatal classes, and midwife and health
visits. We also offer childcare
vouchers and flexible working opportunities.
Social committee
The
company social committee arranges a variety of events for staff, including a
monthly prize draw, events at lunchtime and after work such as local guided
tours, summer barbecues, wine tastings etc.
Corporate social responsibility
Our corporate charitable
giving committee supports our
people’s charitable concerns.
Every year we set aside funds to contribute to the charitable
fundraising efforts from staff out of working hours.
We offer Give As You Earn,
the most tax-effective way to donate to charities. Donations are taken from
salary before income tax, so the tax equivalent goes to charity, rather than
the tax man.
