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 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.
We also support our employees' health and financial wellbeing through a range of additional benefits. Employees and their families can access Health Hero, our virtual GP service, offering convenient access to professional medical advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including telephone and video consultations. For those looking to invest in their future, our Own It share purchase plan provides the opportunity to become a shareholder in WSP through payroll contributions, with WSP matching employee contributions, helping our people share in the success of the business while saving for the future.
For improved life balance, WSP offers “My 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 two 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 at foodbanks and have even raced in dragon boats all in the name of charity.
