A workplace built around people

We believe that when our people thrive, our clients do too. From our four-day week to private healthcare and fitness challenges, here's how we put that into practice.

The fundamentals

4-day week

100% of the pay, 80% of the time, 100% of the results. Permanent since April 2022.

7-hour working day

Reduced from 7.5 hours in March 2022, with no change to salary.

Work from anywhere

Fully remote. Employees have worked from Pakistan, Japan, and beyond. 

Private medical insurance

Company-funded cover for every employee.

Your birthday off

Every employee receives their birthday as a paid day off – no annual leave deducted.

What our people say

'Highgate puts well-being at the heart of the company, creating a productive ripple effect for everyone. I'm proud to be part of a team I now call friends as well as colleagues.'

– Denise Iron, Account Executive

'There are no departmental walls here. We work collectively toward the same goals, and that unity is felt every day.'

– Fabienne Bird, Finance Manager

'If you value a position where everyone has your back — both mentally and materially — and where everyone is pulling in the same direction, you probably should work at Highgate.'

– Tony Tuckwell, Account Director

'I've been at Highgate from the early days, and seeing it grow from strength to strength alongside continuous support has been a truly incredible journey.'

– Yuji Newland, Account Director

How we measure it

Independent employee satisfaction research, conducted by Ultimate Resilience.

93%

100%

'I feel included and kept up to date'

93%

'I feel happy with my work-life balance'

Staying connected

In-person gatherings

Every few months the whole business – partners included – meets in person to work, collaborate, and catch up. Being remote doesn't mean being isolated.

Annual events & trips

End-of-year gatherings include an awards ceremony recognising individual growth. We also run annual trips so teams can spend real time together.

Fitness challenges

From our January challenge to monthly step targets and lunchtime walk initiatives, we encourage movement and time away from the desk throughout the year.

Always improving

We partner with Ultimate Resilience – an independent team of psychologists – to run regular satisfaction studies and act on what we find.
