Laird shortlisted for Best Workplace award

We’re delighted to be shortlisted for something very close to our hearts; being a great place to work.

The Modern Claims Awards acknowledge rising and established superstars in the world of claims. They aim to revel in the talent of our industry, leaving no stone unturned in their search for the best of the best.

In the realm of modern workplaces, where flexibility, inclusivity, and employee well-being are increasingly valued, we strive to stand out as a beacon of excellence. Our dynamic company has garnered a reputation for not just being a great place to work, but for actively prioritising the happiness and satisfaction of our team.  From flexible working hours to unique perks like bringing pets to the office, we’ve created an environment where employees thrive, and their dedication shines through in their work.

Flexibility

One of the most appealing aspects of working at Laird is the flexibility we offers our employees. Unlike traditional nine-to-five jobs that can feel restrictive, we understand that life doesn’t often fit neatly into standard working hours. As such, we’ve adopted a flexible approach, allowing staff to tailor their schedules to accommodate personal needs and preferences. This flexibility not only promotes a healthier work-life balance but also fosters a sense of trust and autonomy among employees.

Pets

Another standout feature of our workplace culture is its pet-friendly policy. For many people, pets are more than just animals—they’re beloved members of the family. Recognising this, Laird Assessors welcomes furry friends into the office, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Not only does this policy make it easier for employees to care for their pets, but it also adds an element of joy and companionship to the workplace, boosting morale and reducing stress.  To date we’ve had several dogs, a rabbit and even a pair of bearded dragons!

Beyond day-to-day flexibility and pet-friendly policies, we go above and beyond to ensure that our employees feel valued and appreciated. Regular team meetings are not just about discussing work but also serve as opportunities for collaboration, brainstorming, and relationship-building. These meetings are designed to be engaging and productive, fostering a sense of camaraderie among colleagues.

But it’s not all work and no play at Laird. The company understands the importance of celebrating successes and fostering a sense of community outside of the office. From festive parties to team-building activities, we know how to throw a good bash! These events not only provide employees with a chance to unwind and socialise but also strengthen bonds and morale within the team.

 

Ski Trip

Perhaps one of the most exciting perks of working at here is the annual ski trip. This tradition speaks volumes about the our commitment to its employees’ well-being and happiness. The ski trip not only rewards hard work but also provides an opportunity for team members to bond in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. It’s a testament to out dedication to creating memorable experiences and fostering a strong sense of community among its staff.

 

Laird – A Great Place to Work

Laird sets a gold standard for what it means to be a great place to work. Through our commitment to flexibility, inclusivity, and employee well-being, we’ve created a culture where individuals thrive, creativity flourishes, and teamwork prevails.  With perks like flexible working hours, pet-friendly policies, engaging meetings, lively parties, and an annual ski trip, we’ve truly earned our reputation as an employer of choice.
