Leadership

77% of staff agreed:

I have confidence in the leadership skills of the senior management team

Weightmans strive forward as a combined workforce. There is no segregation between their leaders and employees and everyone adopts an open door policy. Their values state that they have a clear approach to teamwork and respect and the senior and managing partners lead them in this area. Both the senior and managing partner carry out road shows at each office to update on firm performance. This also serves as an excellent opportunity for question and answer sessions, in addition to the monthly staff forums at which the senior partner is always present.

Wellbeing

My health is suffering because of my work

As a company they are aware of the increasing pressures placed on staff both in terms of work and private life. They have commissioned Employee Care as a 24 hour service to both employees and their families where they can seek counselling, legal advice and information on health and well-being. They offer flexi-time, flexible working and remote working facilities and are supportive of times when dependents require care and assistance and have a dependent/parental leave policy. The benefits and events Weightmans provide always take into consideration the families of their employees.
