Wonderful to be back after a year away

Pros

I have just had 12 months off on maternity leave. It is quite an apprehensive experience returning after such a long time away from the office, however by lunchtime on my first day, it felt like I'd never been away. The warmth, welcome and enthusiasm of colleagues at EW is infectious. I have been reminded how enjoyable it is to work alongside such talented, focused, professionals with common goals who take pride in working for EW. It was 'Blue Monday' on my second week back in the business, supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Not at EW. We had pizza, prize give-aways and a mind-blowing magician who brightened even the greatest cynic's day!

Cons

The only con in being back is not spending as much time with my son, however I really appreciate that EW has agreed to allow me to work slightly reduced hours, so I can strike the right balance between work and home life.

Thank you for taking time to write a review about working at EW. It is good to hear that you enjoy the level of complexity and variety in your role as well as appreciating the benefits we offer all colleagues. At EW we are keen to offer opportunities for career development, and give people opportunities to develop their potential, for example by applying for the Future Leaders programme that we have run for the past two years. Please do discuss with your manager during your regular ME Performance Framework 121 conversations, and you are always welcome to pop and have a chat to a member of the HR Team. Thanks again for your comments and best wishes for many more years at EW.

Great place, but not for skivers!

Pros

Managers listen: no need to be afraid to raise issues; changes are made in response to staff feedback and team briefing feedback; salary was benchmarked and improved a couple of years ago; rewards for hard workers. Although a home-based worker I don't feel left out. Have just received two small bags of mini Easter eggs (sent by the office)! Lots of regular updates on business performance and the company's targets. This is an extremely busy role (h&s consultant) and you need to be cut out to work alone and work really hard, however it does not go unnoticed. The rest of the team is great. Most staff are down to earth and cooperative, and share info and advice.

Cons

As another poster has said, client base increasing quicker than increase in consultants and this is leading to extremely heavy workloads. However, a quick chat with your diary manager usually helps to resolve the issue.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are a busy company and the growth we are experiencing will mean this is set to continue. Linked to this we understand that our growth is only possible by retaining the brilliant talent we have already and adding to it in the future. As well as this we are investing in technical applications that will make the administration for the role more efficient while still ensuring we deliver a brilliant personal consultative service to our clients. Outside of the day to day role we also like to make sure no one is left out and will always make sure our remote and home working colleagues get their Easter Eggs :)
