At Highgate, we’re dedicated to building a culture of health and balance. From our 4-day working week to exciting fitness challenges, explore the initiatives shaping our journey—and hear directly from our team about the positive impact they’ve experienced.
In April 2022, we began trialling a 4-day working week, and after a successful 6 months, this model was made permanent. Whilst the introduction of a 4-day week is not brand new, adoption is still quite rare. A five-day week is now an outdated concept and we are proud to be part of a cultural shift that sees organisations moving from measuring based on hours worked, to measuring based on results.
Following the 100:80:100 model, we commit to 100% of the pay, for 80% of the time, in exchange for 100% productivity.
We work with Ultimate Resilience, a team of psychologists to run independent employee satisfaction studies. It is important to ensure we maintain and improve how our employees feel.
93% of staff agreed with the statement ‘I feel supported by my manager’
100% of staff agreed with the statement ‘I feel included and kept up to date with developments at work’
93% of staff agreed with the statement ‘I feel happy with my work-life balance’
We are a work anywhere organisation, believe that ‘work’ really is something do, rather than a place you go.
Whilst being 100% remote has always been part of our business, in recent years we have seen employees make the most of the ‘work anywhere’ model by working from the likes of Pakistan and Japan, whilst visiting family.
Time is the most valuable thing we have, and we wanted to give our employees more of that time back. In March 2022, we changed our working hours from seven and a half hours a day to seven hours a day, with no impact on salary. This reduction gives our teams 10 hours a month back to spend with family, loved ones, doing hobbies or activities, or whatever they feel is important to them.
All employees are gifted their birthday off! We want to give them the chance to spend the day celebrating as they wish!
All Highgate employees are provided with Private Medical Insurance paid for by the company. We have included mental health support cover too which includes unlimited talking therapies, mindfulness app and online support community.
Being a 100% remote organisation, we think it’s important to give our team the opportunity to get together and grow relationships face-to-face. Every few months, Highgate hire out a conference room and the entire business gathers to work from there, just as they would in an office.
We also have partners attend these, where they get valuable 1-2-1 time with the Highgate teams.
Towards the end of each year, one of these office days is tied in with our Christmas event, where we conduct an end of year review and annual awards ceremony, giving the business the chance to recognise the growth and accomplishments of individuals in the business.
Highgate also host annual abroad trips, giving our teams the opportunity to spend time together and make memories.
Throughout the year, we run multiple fitness challenges to motivate employees.
Every January is dedicated to trying to beat the January Blues with our month-long challenge. All employees are invited to join the challenge, the WhatsApp group and to share their activities and progress over the course of the month. Team members recognise that being part of the group keeps them motivated and even encourages them to try new exercises that they hadn’t considered before!
In the months following, we introduce new challenges to the team to highlight the importance of our employees’ health, including our Noon Walk Challenge, where we encourage employees to get away from their desks during lunch times, to try to reach a team step target by the end of the month.
