Business communications and IT specialist, Excalibur Communications, used its magic to help primary schools deliver remote learning during the pandemic and also donated laptops to people in the community for home schooling.
Swindon-based Excalibur started life as a mobile phone shop and is now a leading service IT and telecoms provider helping organisations improve the way they work and grow. Excalibur has more than 4,000 clients nationwide from schools to legal firms and premiership football clubs.
Excalibur doesn't just focus on what it does, but the way it does it, and expects staff to make the right call guided by its four core principles which are: to be fair, experts, bold and above all, personable. The firm's People Plan ensures it is doing right by its staff and during the global health crisis it dialled up its empathy and understanding as it listened to staff who were suffering coronavirus fatigue and juggling working from home with children.
It did this subtly in messages, team and one-to-one conversations as well as organising some fun for staff and their families with a hamper of goodies and face paints, recognising that home/life balance has become blurred.
Team leaders have held weekly huddles to ensure there is plenty of time to discuss challenges and gauge morale and last year those who worked throughout the first lockdown were given time off in recognition of their hard work. Excalibur prides itself on providing an interesting, challenging, rewarding and fun place to work.
I love working for this organisation
Excalibur has recently introduced a monthly Excellence Award to recognise employees who demonstrate the company values and go above and beyond. Recipients get a personalised card from chief executive, Peter Boucher, and a gift he knows they will like.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
To keep teams mentally and physically healthy during lockdown, Excalibur organised events including quizzes, a Mr & Mrs competition, raffles and weekly fitness workouts. It also challenged the Strava Club to compete in teams to win £400 towards a charity of its members' choice.
This organisation has a strong social conscience
Excalibur runs a number of events in support of charities and every year finds a way to push the limits by undertaking a tough fundraising activity. Recent years have seen Excalibur complete The National Three Peaks and World by Bike challenges, raising £50,000 for good causes close to employees' hearts.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
