Freedom is the key word for staff at professional services consultancy Barnett Waddingham. They are free to challenge the norm, ask questions and explore new ideas, approaches and perspectives. They also have the freedom to take on new challenges and opportunities and to work in a way that empowers them to make an impact for clients, the business and wider community.
The company, whose services include pensions, investment and insurance, ensures staff work collaboratively, thanks to a network of engagement champions. They support communication and encourage feedback.
It aims to be an inclusive workplace and become a Disability Confident Level 2 employer last year and is working towards Level 3. It collaborates with Access to Work to provide adjustments and specialist work equipment for those with disabilities. Barnett Waddingham is also part of the 10,000 Black Interns programme.
The organisation gives back to the community by using its IT skills to support charities in setting up computer equipment. Meanwhile, its marketing talent helps charities with branding. Staff also support students with maths tutoring and they volunteer as trustees on boards to support charity finance and governance.
Barnett Waddingham's wide range of clients in the private and public sectors include almost 25% of the FTSE 100. It is free from external stakeholders, allowing it to take a long-term view with clients and giving it the freedom to bring fresh ideas to the table, unobstructed. It has nine offices in London, Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow, Guildford, Cheltenham, Bristol, Birmingham and Amersham.
