Regularly giving and receiving feedback. This is an important facet at all levels of the business. Our executive Leadership Team also holds office hours where anyone and everyone can come to share their thoughts. We strongly encourage inter-team collaboration by having lunch together in our lovely penthouse kitchen, where you never know who you’ll be sitting next to or what you’ll be talking about during our lunch hour.
We are one of the only companies in our industry genuinely trying to shake things up with a core focus on the customer, giving them the best prices and products. We live by our new internal values which are helping to shape what it means to be a ‘Smarketeer’.
Holding office hours with Leadership Team members, inviting feedback in a public forum at Town Hall meetings with the entire company, and offering employees the chance to share their thoughts on work or life in general during ‘tete-a-tete’ meetings. A healthy appetite for debate is needed to work here!
Creating development plans for each employee, offering them a training and learning budget which they can use on courses, conferences, books, skillshares and much more.
We employ top talent who could work anywhere. This is a reflection of our winning mentality, we hire the best but we focus on people who want to make a difference and make others better. Everyone’s role is important and it doesn’t matter which team you are in or which level you are at, you push to win and be a pro.

Instilling those values from the top down and using them as a lens to make decisions big and small. Receiving feedback from employees and the exec team whether in public or private and admitting when something could have been done better.
