Southampton-based Clearvision wants to make life calmer as well as more enjoyable for its staff. Its Hearts and Minds initiative is dedicated to improving their mental and physical wellbeing with support such as on-site yoga, meditation sessions and specialist talks.
The company, which also has a base across the Atlantic in Philadelphia, offers software and IT services including consultancy, hosting and training. Product innovations include ClearHub, the world's only Atlassian contractor network.
The pandemic illustrated Clearvision's commitment to wellbeing. When staff began working from home, a list of potentially vulnerable people was drawn up – such as those living alone – and the HR director called each of them every day. This was extended to the senior leadership team calling members of staff over a month.
Clearvision has a strong charity policy, with every employee allowed to take one day a quarter to volunteer with a local good cause. Under a new initiative, employees who achieve 10 years' service will be given £500 to donate to their chosen charity when volunteering.
The company's employee engagement group, called Cheervision, has always been active but came into its own during the pandemic. Activities such as online keep fit and quizzes for employees' children helped to keep the team connected.
At Christmas, members of the senior leadership team delivered care packages to employees' homes. Pre-Covid, Clearvision had monthly catered lunches in the office, so it adapted by sending out Graze boxes and other snacks.
My manager cares about me as an individual
The Leading the Way group is made up of 16 senior staff who meet quarterly and, under the guidance of business leaders and coaches, workshop their skills around leadership, productivity, teamwork and personal development. The first session, titled “What do leaders really do?”, was delivered by top speaker Jeff Grout.
I believe I can make a valuable contribution to the success of this organisation
The Appreciation awards reward a minimum of three or four staff a week with shoutouts. The weekly winners then vie for monthly and quarterly awards, with prizes of cash, champagne, meals and red letter days. Ultimately, the senior team choose the employee of the year, who receives £1,000.
My organisation encourages charitable activities
Clearvision has partnered with the National Forest to plant trees for workers' children, up to the age of 21, and will plant more to mark weddings and anniversaries. Redundant office equipment goes to a charity that teaches repair skills to youngsters, and is sold to raise funds after being refurbished.
Companies offering private health insurance to all employees.
