connecting with one another, whether via Teams or face to face, collaboration at Equilibrium is key. We have a strong sense of collaboration in all the work we do. We also know that some tasks and work require self focus and quiet. However knowing the importance of coming together is paramount so we have office days where we ask everyone to work from our Head office, not a day filled with back to back meetings but rather a day once a month where we can connect to our colleagues, knowledge share and work together.
we communicate it to them. We designed a vivid vision several years ago that we update regularly and we also have a big hairy audacious goal (BHAG) that the team have been told about and have bought into. It’s important to have a shared vision and goal and we communicate this regularly to the team in order to keep everyone motivated and on the right track.
asking our team about every aspect of our organisation. We hold briefings and ask for team thoughts and ideas. We carry out regular check ins with the team on different themes. We have regular one to ones with our teams and give people a voice. We listen to what they say and we act on everything that we can. We have a Team Advisory Group that meet each quarter to discuss various topics that directly impact the team and we have run workshops to get the thoughts of the team. We have a Spirit team responsible for events and activities, a Charity Champions team who organise our charitable work and an ESG group who are able to have a voice about our ESG offering. So there are plenty of ways to get involved, make a direct impact and be heard.

We have a head of talent whose main role is to get the very best of our team by giving them learning and development opportunities that help them with their soft as well as hard skills. We promote learning and development by creating internal academies, leadership groups and Emerging Leadership Groups, all aimed at giving people the tools they need to thrive in their personal and professional lives.

living and breathing them. Our purpose is to make people’s lives better and this comes from the top. Every decision Colin our Founder makes asks if it’s the right thing, the fair thing and will it make people’s lives better? If the answer is no, then we don’t continue on that path.
Culture comes from the leaders first and Colin demonstrates integrity, always asking people to do the right thing, even if it means admitting to a mistake, it’s not making the mistake after all that matters but how we deal with and if we learn from it. He is committed to excellence, is always looking to learn and develop and he simplifies the complicated.
