It’s not all work, work, work
Everyone knows that a successful business only thrives if all of its people are committed and work hard every day. The key to a happy, motivated and loyal workforce is in balancing that with a supportive collaborative culture and a healthy attitude to the other things in life. We do expect hard work and commitment, but we also put a strong emphasis on work-life balance.
This includes a varied programme of social events, summer and Christmas parties, which are extremely popular and well attended, giving a great opportunity for everyone to meet and mix socially. By popular demand, other social activities throughout the year include themed dinners, treasure hunts, pub quizzes and cake bakes.
For the more energetic, there’s plenty happening around sports too: there’s the opportunity to participate in golf, cycling and other events, competing against each other, our clients and other professionals in the property sector.
In 2016 we initiated our first Workplace Wellbeing Week, with a programme of activities designed to develop an ongoing, sustainable culture of wellbeing, including lunchtime yoga and walks, a bring and share lunch and even desk detoxes!
Our staff are ardent supporters of a number of good causes and in January 2023 we adopted Cystic Fibrosis Trust as our charity of the year.
