Scott Brownrigg, a global design leader, demonstrates a deeply ingrained commitment to its people through its structure and innovative engagement initiatives. As an Employee Ownership Trust, the practice ensures every employee has a voice, fostering a culture where talent is nurtured and success is shared through profit sharing. This EOT status, combined with an open, inclusive, and sociable attitude, is a core reason for the practice's stable staff turnover rates.

The dedication to people is evident in the comprehensive approach to employee support. The firm offers flexible and remote working to support diversity and inclusion, ensuring a healthy work-life balance for all. Wellbeing is equally prioritised, with mental health support provided through an Employee Assistance Programme and in-house Mental Health First Aiders. Beyond formal support, a rich annual programme of social, sporting, Wellbeing, and charity events, including yoga and nature walks, builds strong relationships and common interests across all studios.

Scott Brownrigg also drives collaboration and creativity through its in-house Design Research Unit, which organises initiatives like sector esquisses and practice-wide design reviews. This inspires curiosity and enhances design-led conversation. Furthermore, investment in staff development is shown through a commitment to continuous learning, from an in-house mentoring programme to sponsorship for RIBA Part 3 students. The company's unique internal management development programme strengthens leadership skills by focusing on real-world challenges, such as goal setting and having difficult conversations, ensuring a consistent and supportive employee experience.
