As it\u2019s a small team, this is quite a broad role which includes admin such as maintaining staff contracts, as well as being the point of contact for day-to-day enquiries. I also manage inductions for new starters, put together training plans and I\u2019ll sit in on the initial stages of the recruitment process to provide an HR perspective. The aim is to ensure every new starter has all they need to settle in quickly so they can meet their potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do you hope to make a difference for staff?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Communication is paramount to our employees, but it\u2019s just as important that we listen to them and take their feedback on board with things like regular engagement surveys and our suggestion box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we\u2019ve been through a lot of change in recent years (and we\u2019re still growing), we need to maintain good staff morale and keep the special atmosphere that\u2019s been key to our success. A large part of that is ensuring people feel their views count and they\u2019re being well looked after so they enjoy their time at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>What qualities does someone need to join Healthcode and how would you describe the team<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t have the formal culture you\u2019ll often find in big corporates so we really value employees who are self-starters, integrate well and are happy to collaborate with others across the different teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my experience, we have a lovely bunch of people and everyone is friendly and happy to help. I really don\u2019t think anyone would turn you away if you needed advice or help with something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That spirit of collaboration is definitely something we encourage as a company through things like our quarterly company days which bring everyone together to hear about the latest developments, celebrate our successes and enjoy each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How does your work have an impact on customers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although I\u2019m not in a customer-facing role, I\u2019m always impressed when I see members of our Customer Services team in action because they\u2019re always so polite and helpful to users. You can see everyone is passionate about doing a good job and that translates into the quality of their work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HR team can\u2019t take the credit for their performance but we do contribute to things like recruitment, training and maintaining a healthy and supportive company culture. So we can help staff do their best for customers, we aim to create the conditions where they feel happy and enjoy their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do you enjoy most about working here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love the people \u2013 everyone is friendly from the get-go \u2013 and the office space is very bright, open and welcoming so it\u2019s a pleasure to go into work. I\u2019m also a big fan of the company meetings I mentioned earlier because they\u2019re really informative, fun and are a chance to talk with people that you might not see every day. I know we all really appreciate how much effort goes into making the day a success, from the presentations to the team building and social side and it\u2019s part of what makes Healthcode a great place to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And finally, how do you switch off outside work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My very energetic Cocker Spaniel keeps me entertained and also requires plenty of walks. I\u2019m an avid reader, especially thrillers by authors like Freida McFadden although the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman is my top recommendation. I\u2019m also getting married next October and there\u2019s a lot to be done so my brain is currently going into wedding planner mode as soon as I get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HR Executive<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":6478,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[25,27,42],"class_list":["post-6477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-about-us","tag-blog","tag-meet-our-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
