The Firm is committed to providing a workplace:

• Which recognises our staff are the most valuable asset and as such their welfare is of paramount concern.
• Which engenders a sense of pride, camaraderie and community amongst colleagues.
• Where expectations and roles are clearly defined with a view to minimising unnecessary stress in so far as possible; so that staff may grow and realise their potential.
• Which recognises the need for balance between demands of work, family and personal life.
• Where presenteeism is categorically discouraged and staff are actively reminded and encouraged to take their breaks, including lunch hours and annual leave.
• Where there are open channels of communication; staff feel they have good levels of involvement and influence as regards decision making via mechanisms such as the Representative Committee and contribution to departmental meetings.
• Which is supportive and responsive in ensuring concerns raised by staff are addressed appropriately.
• Ensures the location and availability of useful resources are clearly signposted. This will be primarily via the firm’s targeted intranet page.
• Where awareness-raising sessions and initiatives are made available to empower staff to care for their own wellbeing and that of their colleagues better.
