WSP has a comprehensive benefits package which includes a professional development bonus scheme, discounted gym membership, high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme and access to specialist advice in areas such as legal, financial, personal and family matters including bereavement and counselling services.
We also have a well established wellbeing programme, Thrive. As part of this programme employees can take a wellbeing assessment to see how they are doing both mentally and physically. This is supported by various activities and initiatives to help our people and make sure they are taking care of themselves.
For improved life balance, WSP offers the “WSP Hour” which encourages our employees to flex their working day and take an hour to do as they wish, and the time can then be made up at a time to suit. Many employees take this time to exercise, read or take time away from work during daylight hours in the winter. We also offer flexible working arrangements and the option to flex your bank holiday to suit you.
Finally, many of our employees take advantage of our 2 days paid volunteering time. Our people donate thousands of hours of time volunteering in support of local initiatives and raise thousands of pounds for good causes. Our teams have been involved in beach clean-ups and bake sales, have climbed peaks, helped out at foodbanks and have even raced in dragon boats all in the name of charity.
