Travel and pet insurance provider Staysure Group "dares to be different," and it encourages its employees to be "positively disruptive", too.

The Northampton-based Group, which insures pets, and people with specific medical needs, is constantly innovating under its brands – Avanti, Staysure, Payingtoomuch, ROCK, Petsure and Wapp – a pay-as-you-go travel app.

And Staysure, which receives rave reviews on customer ratings apps, is innovative in supporting its people too, "giving everyone a chance to develop and grow with the business". And despite the Group's rapid growth, it prides itself on maintaining its family ethos.

Everyone gets access to an online learning portal, and customer-facing employees benefit from a clear 'Career Pathway' that shows how to achieve the next step and reward level. And they don't have to wait for a yearly review to get promoted; monthly progression meetings keep people motivated, suitably trained, rewarded and on track.

And there's a six-month management programme for existing and future first-line managers, mirroring the skills and behaviours of an accredited programme. Employees work with their managers on a personalised development plan with training modules and coaching.

Staysure Group is keen to keep its employees connected wherever they work, with newsletters, videos, online events, podcasts and engagement platforms for social get-togethers and work. There are also quarterly interactive live updates from the leadership team.

And an online platform celebrates good work and rewards staff with discounts and other perks.
