Creating an environment where our team can thrive
How we’re improving team happiness
We respect every member of our team and value the great work they do.
Each person in our company supports our ESG journey and is dedicated to helping our customers find the most sustainable branded marketing solutions for their business.
As a result, we care about creating a positive environment where our team feels valued and supported in achieving their professional goals.
To do this, we focus on the following core areas:
- Providing financial security for our team
- Supporting their health and wellbeing
- Providing career development opportunities
- Improving team engagement and satisfaction
Proud to be a Living Wage employer
We take our role as a responsible employer seriously. We genuinely care about ensuring our team earns a salary that ensures they can comfortably support their families. We’re proud to be part of the Living Wage Foundation, which means we’re choosing to do the right thing for our team and going further than the government minimum wage.
Taking care of hearts and minds
We care about cultivating a positive culture here at A.D.
Our office is a fun, welcoming space that encourages collaboration. We believe in celebrating special moments together and supporting each other.
Our commitment to our team extends beyond our time together in the office. We recognise that our team may need professional support from time to time, which is why we have invested in Westfield Health.
This means everyone has access to free healthcare benefits, including dental, private consultations and mental health cover.
We also have an on-site virtual gym, a secure bike store room and showers, so people can enjoy a pre, post or lunchtime workout!
Supporting career goals and aspirations
We work closely with our team to understand their career goals and ensure they’re supported throughout their employment at A.D. Our training matrix develops with the growing needs of our team so that we can work with individuals to define their path and measure their progress.
We also have a thriving apprenticeships programme via our very own A.D. Academy and are proud to say that 20% of our employees are successful graduates of this initiative. This means new recruits can lean on and learn from people who have been in their position, so they feel supported every step of the way. We also have a dedicated point of contact in the business they can speak to if they need additional advice or guidance.
In addition to this, we also care about inspiring the next generation by providing work experience opportunities to students from local schools and colleges. This experience is invaluable to those starting out who want to build their CVs and gain real-world experience working in a dynamic office environment.
Improving team happiness
Whilst it was important for us to have a lovely office building with lots of great amenities that were close to excellent transportation links for easy access, it was also important that we chose a building partner that valued sustainability.
Our offices are situated in a retrofitted, low-carbon Bruntwood building in the heart of Old Trafford. Bruntwood provides all the contemporary features our modern business needs. The company also invests in renewable energy and is on its own path to achieving Net Zero status, which supports our goals too.
In addition to the excellent benefits we provide our team, we also care about their work-life and support flexible and hybrid working.
