Graphnet Health

As a growing business Graphnet Health is accustomed to change, but the coronavirus has had a profound effect on it. The software company, based in Milton Keynes, is now playing a key role in delivering the UK's vaccination programme.

Graphnet provides specialist software for use by care professionals in the health and social care system, integrating care records and assisting with workflow and analysis. It has expanded significantly in recent years while retaining a family culture.

The medium-size company promotes a progressive and collaborative working environment by recognising each employee's contribution and sharing a pride in its work overall.

Graphnet offers a benefits package that includes income protection, a group pension scheme, life assurance, private healthcare and an employee assistance programme to support staff on a range of work and personal issues. Other perks include discounts on gym memberships, restaurant deals via Tastecards and giving employees an extra day off each year on their birthday.

Senior managers aim to be approachable, working to promote a sensible work-life balance and recognising the importance of supporting people with their physical and mental wellbeing.

Throughout the lockdowns, the company has carried out regular employee feedback surveys to give employees the opportunity to share how they are feeling, how they are handling working from home and how they can help shape the future of new working practices post-pandemic.
