Bow & Arrow

The company paid for the entire business to travel to Croatia for three days of celebration, appreciation and reflection. Months in planning, this was filled with many unforgettable moments, from being taxied from the airport via speedboats to a 3-hour lunch on a private island.

Bow & Arrow aims to be the most transformative growth experience of an employees career, meaning holistic personal growth underpins everything they do. This is approached on two fronts; the skillsets people need to grow in day-to-day work, and the mindset they need to become business leaders.

Beyond

Beyond created Future Planet, an Action on Google (AOG) designed to reconnect humans to the challenges the natural world faces. Their aim was to encourage environmentally friendly behaviour by stating the problem and posing challenges that people can complete in their day-to-day lives. Through emotive facts, an engaging tone of voice and easy to implement challenges, Future Planet helps people to take small actions that can have a big impact on the planet's future.

All employees are given 15 paid sick days a year. They advocate for them to use this for mental not just physical health. This means they offer the chance for people to take "mental health days" so that people can be transparent and it also means as a people team, the organisation can support people better as they really know their reasons for absence.

Beyond offer a comprehensive L&D programme, which is compiled of an internal leadership & management programme, external career coaching for those stepping in to senior roles and bespoke learning programmes for top talent. They also offer everyone the chance to switch roles or move through different skills in the business.

Academia have an internal Leadership Academy. They believe that there is a fundamental difference between leadership and management; someone can be a leader in their area of expertise without managing a team. With this in mind, employees apply for and are interviewed and then selected to attend the 6 month internal programme hosted by both internal and external facilitators, in addition to internal mentors.
