Wavelink is pleased with its strong staff retention and says the number one reason for this is its “supportive environment where employees are recognised and rewarded”.
To deliver this, it offers paid training and development, mental health days, social events, travel and parking budgets, paid company lunches weekly, social events hosted inside work hours and paid domestic violence leave and miscarriage leave.
Another great system that aids culture and productivity has been KPIs for all staff, with associated bonuses for successful achievements each quarter: “This has been highly motivating for our employees and provided clarity to each person in their role.”
