I was lucky enough to live in Wimbledon earlier in my career before I joined SWO so I know it can be difficult with travel - hopefully you've found a good balance from with the train / tube or other means. Thanks for the feedback - of course it's great to hear you're feeling the benefit and impact of the culture rep teams and as you say, we are not perfect but I believe we care about trying to do what is right. Finding the balance between fostering a local community and at the same time a truely global, scalable company is challenging - so the feedback helps us shape that in real time. The same goes for the flexible working structure - as you say highlighted by COVID - but again this is balance as a lot of the culture is fostered by the community / togetherness in an office in the first place - but I will make sure this goes back into the UK improvement loop. Please let us know if you have any specific ideas on how to make that work. Otherwise, thanks again for investing the time in doing this and your career with SWO. Hope you have a great rest of Q3 and H2! John.

Hi - I hope you are seeing the investment we are making in people with the new learning platform and access to platforms like UDEMY and Coursera. It's super important to us that we have happy, developed and productive people so if we are not taking care of that then please write to me directly. I believe our salary review and award process is fair - we use performance, market and industry data to support this - but we also look at total reward and culture and not just straight cash. Happy for you to go to your line leader or your People & Culture Partner if this does not meet your personal expectations - that way we can at least have a constructive discussion with you. Thank you again for investing the time in writing here and hope you have a great year ahead.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review and provide feedback. It's great that you feel we are able to achieve a close culture. having said that - if you were comfortable, I would love to hear more from you about why we have not been able to meet 4 or 5 stars and how we could improve. Perhaps you could email me (in confidence) and give me or the team some specifics. Thanks again. John Mayes.

"The People Make the business" - as a Services organization, this couldn't be more true. Attending a presentation today from one of our other Executive team, we discussed how many companies will say they have 'the best' people - for us I believe we do, but I would also say that those employees who are part of our family are right for our values and culture - it won't suit everyone. As long as you are pursuing your passions, are motivated and supported to be successful and can surround yourself with similar mindsets, then you will always be with 'the best' people. For the record - also noted on your comments on the non sales teams - new L&D investments as part of our 'People Pillar' and our comp plan which is structured to reward company performance are addressing some of this, but we will look to do more. Thank you again.
