How employees collaborate Employees collaborate throughout our company by recognizing and promoting a strength-based culture. We encourage employees to identify their unique strengths and talents and leverage them in their daily tasks and projects. In doing so, we foster a collaborative environment where team members can complement each other’s strengths and work together effectively, resulting in greater job satisfaction and productivity. A positive vision for the future Our vision was to create a workplace where employees enjoy a positive and nurturing environment where they achievements and progress are celebrated. We have realised this by providing opportunities for employees to showcase their strengths and successes, which boosts their confidence and reinforces a positive outlook. Additionally, our strength-based culture allows individuals to see their potential for growth and advancement within the organization, leading to an optimistic view of their future with the company. How values are demonstrated At the heart of our business lies a strong emphasis on client intimacy and advocacy, driving our success. We extend this philosophy to our employees, viewing them as internal customers and taking utmost care of their well-being and professional growth. We leverage our strength dashboard to ensure our employees’ skills align with our core values. This tool allows us to assess how individual strengths contribute to our organizational values, enabling us to make informed hiring decisions that better complement our principles. For instance, we track the number of “initiators” and “activators” within our workforce and aim to strike a balance between the two. This equilibrium is crucial as it ensures a seamless flow of ideas and effective execution, aligning with our overarching value of “Drive Change.” How employees are respected We emphasize the importance of inclusion and respect within our team. All voices get heard, and we value the ideas of everyone, promoting a culture of inclusivity and open communication. Regular team meetings, town halls, and anonymous feedback channels allow employees to express their thoughts freely. How employees are supported We support our employees in achieving their professional and personal goals by offering tailored development plans. We conduct regular performance assessments that focus on recognizing and cultivating individual strengths. Additionally, employees can access workshops, training sessions, and educational resources aligned with their interests, enabling them to grow personally and professionally. How leadership demonstrates values Our CEO, Kamran Hedjri, serves as a model of our company values by actively demonstrating and embodying the strength-based culture. He regularly acknowledges and highlights employees’ strengths during meetings and company-wide communications. Furthermore, Kamran actively seeks out and acts on employee feedback, showing a commitment to continuous improvement and a genuine concern for the workforce’s well-being. Additionally, he is sharing his Show Me You Know Me, detailing how his strengths manifest themselves in multiple scenarios. This engagement increases employees’ confidence in showcasing and utilising their strengths. Programs and practices Our employees have access to peer recognition programs, through which they can nominate colleagues who exemplify the company’s values and utilize their strengths effectively. Those recognized receive special rewards, creating a positive and appreciative atmosphere within the workplace. We also offer EMS (electric muscle stimulation) in the office in Austria. This is a highly effective form of training that utilizes low and mid-frequency electric currents to enhance the body’s natural muscle contractions. Employees can join these sessions while at work and get a healthy 20mins workout in the office. We also have a wellness platform for the whole group, with wellness sessions available almost every day. Monthly calendar invites are sent out with all the programs coming up that month, and employees can join their desired session(s) at the most convenient time(s). Benefits We value all our employees and want to provide as many ways as possible for our them to recognise their importance to the company. Our extensive offering of employee benefits is one such way. We afford employees the opportunity to: • Energise with EMS (electric muscle stimulation) sessions at our Vienna office. • Embrace wellness through dedicated programs on our wellness platform. • Unlock their potential with uncapped commissions that reward achievements. • Make fresh and healthy fruits available in the office. • Connect and celebrate at our monthly employee gatherings. • Indulge in fun and entertainment within our recreational game zones at the UK office. • Savour delicious meals with a convenient food voucher. • Stay active and fit with a sports voucher for your favourite activities. • Fuel your learning journey with access to 22,000+ courses spanning various disciplines. Pandemic response Our innovative hybrid framework empowers employees to work seamlessly from various locations across the EU (outside the UK), offering a dynamic and adaptable work environment. By embracing a flexible location strategy, we leverage agreements like digital nomad visas and the potential to utilize employer-of-record services to facilitate seamless employee transitions between locations. Introducing flexitime agreements in select locations, we additionally support employees with the freedom to choose their preferred work hours while ensuring alignment with peak collaboration times. In India, for example, our commitment to employee well-being is evident through providing four days of care leave, demonstrating our support during challenging times. Furthermore, in response to pandemic-related challenges, we've extended financial assistance to our employees, offering emergency relief funds and loans to alleviate difficulties. To ensure the health and safety of our team, we've also implemented a Covid vaccine reimbursement program for our Indian employees. For our Austrian employees, we swiftly addressed vaccination needs via a streamlined Covid speedup vaccine process. As a company, we've facilitated their registration for the vaccine, expediting the overall procedure.
