Pros

I joined WorkNest in June 2022 as a Programme Support Officer, with little prior project experience but a strong set of transferable skills. Thanks to my patient and supportive manager and team, I quickly gained confidence and was trusted to manage key project tasks, lead initiatives, and take leadership on internal platforms. WorkNest provided exceptional support, including funding for professional development courses like the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ), which was invaluable for my growth. The company places a strong emphasis on recognising employee contributions, even hosting yearly awards to celebrate achievements. Being awarded the Silver Award in 2024 for my leadership on an internal project was an incredibly proud and memorable moment in my career. It gave me a huge confidence boost and made me feel truly valued. In October 2024, I successfully secured a new role as Recruitment and People Coordinator after interviewing for the position. The ability to explore new opportunities demonstrates WorkNest’s commitment to supporting employee aspirations. The leadership team and my colleagues are approachable, supportive, and invested in fostering a positive and inclusive work environment. WorkNest goes above and beyond to create a culture where employees thrive, offering initiatives like company awards, mentorship sessions, professional development, and team-building activities. These efforts reflect how deeply the company cares about its people, ensuring everyone feels appreciated, empowered, and motivated to contribute their best. I also want to mention that WorkNest provided incredible support during a particularly challenging time in my personal life. The care and empathy shown to me were beyond anything I could have expected, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better support. Knowing that the company genuinely cared about my wellbeing shows just how much they value their employees as individuals and human beings.

Cons

Juggling multiple projects and tasks can sometimes be demanding, but clear communication and the excellent support systems ensure that challenges are always manageable.

Pros

Career opportunities are good. Salaries are decent. There are some nice individuals within the business.

Cons

Awful, awful dictatorship style management from the top down. Massive labour turnover. An utterly ridiculously political environment. Some leaders in the business are more concerned with escalating their own image and financial worth within the business and they are happy to use you as cannon fodder. Lied to, on a number of occasions. Told there would be a secure job for us after restructures, only to find out some of our jobs had already been recruited for and then individuals previously told there would be a place for them at WN have then been made redundant. They literally couldn't care less about your wellbeing if they tried... They have just launched a wellbeing charter - which would be great. However on recent group meetings there has even been ridiculous things like a 'car park hierarchy' where the senior people in the business get to park closer to the door, and the minions have to park further down the car park. Awful, awful, awful, toxic and damaging environment.

Thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. We're so sorry to hear of your experiences and can assure you that a great deal of work has been carried out recently to set the foundation for a positive culture within WorkNest, including the articulation of our Values and holding people to account if they are not aligned to these. We are also progressing our leadership development and I can assure you that no such hierarchy exists today. Thank you for your contribution and we wish you well in your future plans.
