The grass isn’t always greener…

We recently received a message from Paul Beesley, Director and senior consultant at Beyond Theory, business coaching and training. They specialise in staff motivation, leadership skills or customer experience and he is former treasurer of Service 6, Chair of CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development), and a member at “Engage for Success” an organisation that provides leadership and guidance on employee engagement. Here is what Paul says:

“Wilson Browne Solicitors impressed me as a true investor in people… They understand the importance of a positive, customer-focused organisational culture. This is not just evidenced by what I have observed, but from what employees have told me when they have joined from other legal firms. If you are looking to change, this firm is well worth considering to be part of.”

These are amazing comments to have.

We talk about being different and continually trying to improve things for our staff. We genuinely think this is a fantastic place to work and hope that our staff feel the same.

The story does not end there. In July we had 5 former members of staff, from different roles, apply for vacancies (those applications are of course confidential). It is heartening that they felt able to approach us (some places are ones you never go back to), but also fantastic that they wanted to come back.

A common thread was that people said they had never felt more “at home” than they had here. We all work to high standards, whether on the advice given to clients or the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.

It’s important to enjoy your working life as it’s easy to get lost in the daily small issues and challenges.  As always, it is fantastic to be reminded by those from outside the business that this is a great place to be, to have a career and to provide for our families.
