Search Laboratory is a digital marketing agency bringing data to life, 'uncovering the spark' so its clients have the information they need to grow.

The Leeds-based agency employs data scientists alongside its marketers. It has a UK team of over 100 employees and two US offices.

Unsurprisingly, it takes a data-first approach in its mission to make Search Laboratory 'the best place to work'.

It recognises that listening to employees and acting on it can make them feel happy, fulfilled, and valued.

To help build the best culture possible, the company uses an employee engagement and insight tool.

During company updates and meetings, staff can use a live Q&A polling app to ask directors questions in real-time.

On this, the agency has crunched pay data to ensure its salaries are competitive, bringing staff whose pay fell short into line.

All initiatives are tried, tested, and evaluated, including various approaches to hybrid working.

While staff are welcome to spend as much time as they like in the professionally designed office – complete with a creative room and other 'unique and beautiful spaces' – they only need to be in one day a week.

The idea is that everyone works in a way that best suits them, and there is no shortage of events and initiatives to get colleagues to connect and socialise.

These include monthly food truck visits, 'Thirsty Thursday', staff parties, paid company socials, team nights out, and seasonal-themed activities from ice-curling to pumpkin carving.
