Papier
Online stationary retailer Papier invites customers to "uncover the endless possibilities of a blank page" with inspirational and personalised notebooks, notecards and diaries.
Known for its collaborations with artists, iconic brands and fashion labels, the business, with offices in London and New York, "wants to help create creative moments" for its employees too.
Papier appreciates that for its 'paps' to be creative, they need space to breathe. Everyone gets an hour a week to spend as they please, whether that's walking, reading or yoga.
In addition, its creative team get a 'blank page day' once a quarter, which they're encouraged to spend in nature, doing arts and crafts or writing in a bid to find fresh inspiration – something that's challenging when they're under pressure for product launches and other deadlines.
And more than 50% of the team have taken advantage of the freedom to work from anywhere for 20 days of the year. The policy supports employees' work-life balance and lets them see friends and family in another country without taking all their leave.
And the wellbeing benefits continue. Everyone gets a monthly allowance to put towards activities that support their mental and physical wellbeing. And following feedback from staff about the importance of understanding their finances, they now get four calls a year with a financial coach to set and review goals and unlimited messaging support.
