I feel a strong sense of family in my team

Live & Breathe helped organise and participated in an ‘It’s a Knockout’ event for one of their nominated charities ‘Caravan’. As well as giving the event coordinator time during her working day to arrange the event, a team consisting of Live & Breathers and their clients was assembled and given the afternoon off work to compete. Not only did everyone enjoy the event but it had two key benefits - it raised £20,000 for a very good cause related to the sector in which Live & Breathe operate and it provided the opportunity to work together with their clients in a constructive, out of business environment, getting to know and understand them and themselves better and work better as a team.

I believe I can make a valuable contribution to the success of this organisation

Live & Breathe foster a culture of collaboration where each member of the team is valued equally. Ideas, can and do, come from anywhere and rewards are shared. As such, good people progress quickly. Being small gives Live and Breathe a clear advantage in being able to listen and feedback to the wider team. The senior team have weekly one-to-one sessions with their team members and on top of that the flat hierarchy means everyone can talk to a Director pretty much whenever they want. Additionally they employ the Clear Partnership for coaching and mentoring which has proved valuable in many ways not least the fact they are completely impartial and staff feel able to talk openly to them.

I feel I receive fair pay for the responsibilities I have in my job

We are firm believers that communication in a small company like ours is as much about setting examples as it is about formal communication.
