Telecommunications service provider, Daisy Communications, aims to help businesses be "better every day," giving them the technologies to connect with their customers, suppliers and teams effectively.

An independent provider of business broadband, telephone, IT and cloud services, the company also supports products such as pay terminals and telematics.

As you'd expect from a communications-driven business, 'connecting' with its employees and encouraging them to come together are key focuses in making Daisy Communications a great place to work.

Conferences – including the bi-annual managers' meeting – bring teams together to discuss challenges and celebrate success. There are team building days, focus groups and cross-department training sessions, getting colleagues to interact with new faces. And there are regular in-person events and virtual ones, from pumpkin carving to coffee mornings.

There's a listening culture at Daisy Communications. Employees have helped develop the new values, and staff feedback has led to the Board making more on-site visits, the creation of a Manager's Toolkit to support them with tricky people scenarios and the introduction of product meetings to help with training.

There are plenty of opportunities to gain experience and progress at the company. New starters participate in a three-day 'Welcome to Daisy' programme, all staff get access to a huge online learning platform, there's an internal 'train the trainer' programme and apprenticeships. And a new partnership with a local college offers students placement for their T-Level Management and Administration course.
