Law firm Napthens wants to be known for its 'outstanding relationships.'
The LLP – which has six North West Offices from the Lake District to Liverpool – is far from 'stuffy.’ It prides itself on having a team of specialists who are 'approachable and willing to listen' in matters as diverse as corporate strategy and conveyancing.
And this open, caring approach is just as important inside the organisation.
At Napthens, there's a strong focus on mental health. Experts have been invited to talk about subjects such as menopause and sleep. And staff can take part in yoga and meditation sessions and access counselling services.
Employees also have access to a new benefits discount platform, saving them money on fuel, food and gifts. And there's a hardship fund so staff can have financial peace of mind during a crisis.
The MyNapthens committee encourages staff to have social and professional relationships. It's organised quizzes and bingo, children's online parties, cook-alongs and a 'Winter Warmer Day' where partners served staff hot food across all offices.
Napthens offers generous financial incentives. A discretionary bonus scheme rewards employees who've gone above and beyond. And referrals can result in big rewards. £3,000 is on offer for recommending a successful recruit and there’s a bonus for every £5,000 of work referred. For the biggest referrer, there's a trip to New York for two!
I feel proud to work for this organisation
There's always a chance to talk and be heard. Everyone gets two one-to-ones a month with their line manager, there are internal collaborative workspaces and channels for people to share ideas and a recognition scheme to highlight and celebrate success company-wide. There's also an agile working forum to discuss and address any issues.
My manager shares important knowledge and information with me
There's a formal mentoring scheme in place, and the firm's welcomed a Learning and Development Business Partner to give employee growth renewed impetus. Meanwhile, managers can benefit from sessions including performance management, recruitment and selection and leadership. Managers are also supported through role-playing scenarios.
My organisation encourages charitable activities
The firm's charitable foundation has raised £20,000 since launching in 2021. It supports local education-focused causes or those tackling ill health and financial disadvantage. It's helped four schools implement a mental health preventive programme and has donated to the Red Cross for its work in Ukraine, as well as supporting food banks and toy appeals.
