At Proact UK, we don’t just prioritise your wellbeing at work; we offer a wide range of perks and benefits that you can take advantage of 24/7. Our commitment to our employees' health, happiness, and professional growth is evident in everything we do. As Alice Steel, our Talent Partner, explains, her primary focus is on attracting, engaging, and retaining top talent. She works closely with various departments to understand their needs and ensure we bring in the best people to help us achieve our goals. 

Talent Partner, that sounds like a crucial role. Can you tell us more about the specific benefits that focus on employee wellbeing?
Alice Steel: Of course! At Proact IT UK, your wellbeing is our priority. We offer private healthcare via AXA Health with no excess on claims, cashback for optical and dental bills, a confidential 24/7 Employee Assistance line, and the option to add family members to your policy. We also provide generous annual leave with incremental increases based on tenure and the option to purchase an additional five days per year.

Those are impressive benefits. What other initiatives does Proact IT UK have to support employee wellbeing?
Alice Steel: We have several initiatives to support our employees' wellbeing. For instance, we offer three paid charity days to encourage our employees to engage with causes they care about. Our cycle scheme promotes a greener commute with discounted bikes and kits. We also have wellbeing weeks, a Mental Health First Aider network, and a Wellbeing Hub to support our employees' mental and physical health.

It's great to see such a comprehensive approach to wellbeing. Are there any other perks that employees can enjoy?
Alice Steel: Yes, we offer a discounted Tastecard for savings at popular UK restaurants, and we celebrate our employees' achievements with an annual company awards event. We also provide family support arrangements, including enhanced maternity and paternity pay, and flexible and hybrid working options to make life easier for families.

Proact IT UK seems to truly value its employees. What makes your company stand out in terms of employee development and recognition?
Alice Steel: We believe that our people matter. We focus on their development as much as on our clients and customers. We offer a range of benefits, including a contributory pension with Scottish Widows and private health insurance. We also have Proactivist Points to recognize and reward employees who embody our values, a recruitment referral scheme, and accelerated development opportunities to help our employees gain accreditation and build their skills for life.

That's fantastic. What advice would you give to someone looking to join your team?
Alice Steel: My advice would be to really understand our company culture and values. We're looking for individuals who are not only skilled but also align with our mission and can contribute positively to our team. Be proactive, show your passion for technology, and don't be afraid to showcase your unique strengths and experiences.

Great advice, Alice. Thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today.
Alice Steel: Thank you for having me! It's been a pleasure.
