About Bond Pearce LLP

Managers encourage and support their team in the achievement of objectives, offering mentoring and guidance where appropriate. Managers will provide clear and constructive feedback to their team concerning their performance in the achievement of objectives, both formally, through the performance management and appraisal system, and more informally. Managers may nominate members of their team for awards and bonuses where there has been outstanding performance and will also acknowledge and praise team members of good performance generally. Their focus is on ensuring that team members are aware of the value of their work to the firm and the achievement of objectives.
Line managers are encouraged to adopt the same approach with their team members as is taken with them. That is to say, they offer support to team members on both a formal and informal basis. This may come in the form of advice on how tasks can be completed more effectively or seeking additional resources to facilitate the achievement of objectives. Team members are encouraged to be open about any challenges they may encounter so that solutions can be identified and implemented at an early stage. Managers will also meet with their team to de-brief them following the completion of more substantial tasks and projects so that any areas for improvement, either on the part of the team member or the manager can be identified and implemented.

Bond Pearce has a confidential and free employee assistance helpline, for anyone to call and discuss personal or work-related problems. They also have regular occupational health visits by a qualified GP to each of their office locations. He is available for any employee to attend a private consultation, should he/she need to do so. They also have free eye tests and flu jabs for all employees.

Bond Pearce has an active Corporate Responsibility agenda with local committees in each office. One of their most innovative actions is the Business Action on Homelessness (BAOH), which is a unique partnership between business, homeless agencies and the Government. The campaign runs in a number of cities, including Bristol, and aims to break the cycle of "no job, no home", by helping homeless people to find employment and achieve independent living. The people on the campaign are “hidden homeless” i.e. not rough sleepers but people living in hostels or other forms of temporary accommodation. They all share the aim of wanting to change their lives by returning to work but often lack the confidence and the know how to achieve this for themselves. Bond Pearce (Bristol office) has hosted part of the BAOH training programme for their homeless clients. They help by providing some volunteers to help clients improve their interview skills. Bond Pearce have participated in this programme over a number of years. The homeless clients gain an immense amount of confidence simply from coming into a professional office environment, being treated with respect and finding out that people who work in this type of firm are interested in seeing them achieve success
