The business runs “working smarter” courses to help people manage time more effectively, which increases productivity and helps reduce pressure levels and stops jobs interfering with other responsibilities (both 83%). Colleagues give each other energy (84%), getting together at “town hall” meetings every three months, with business updates and workshops. The firm funds a summer barbecue. to which families are invited, and a Christmas party.
