During the pandemic to remind staff working remotely that they were part of something bigger, Sky Betting & Gaming introduced a weekly virtual game of “Wheel of Fortune” to bring “Good Vibes to the Tribes”.

Every week staff were invited onto a live call during which five names were chosen at random to spin the Wheel with prizes ranging from supermarket vouchers to £500 holiday vouchers.

The technology and digital company, the UK's leading mobile-led betting game operator, has doubled in size over the last five years, employing more than 1,400 people in its head office in Leeds and offices in London, Sheffield and Solihull.

SB&G prides itself on being a transparent and collaborative business and keeps staff in the loop and involved through weekly business updates and a fortnightly Ask Leadership open Q&A session. During the pandemic the senior management team also took part in An Honest Conversation panel event series in which they discussed the tricky balancing act of juggling home-schooling and working in a senior role and the pressures of leading a team remotely.

They also introduced Wellbeing Afternoons (half a day off each month) and an “always-on lunch hour” between 12-1pm to encourage staff to take time away from their desks. Staff also took part in Positive Pods, short podcasts on a variety of topics from finding a good routine to staying positive.

To reflect its highly collaborative culture the firm also introduced interactive skills-based presentation and communication workshops and a virtual webinar series.
