Since the start of Pandemic, we have completely shifted our company culture from introducing a new set of brand values to help keep everyone on track, to introducing more perks than ever before.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s just a few of the ways we\u2019ve been keeping our staff\u2019s productivity levels high since making the permanent shift to online working:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Introduced a new, flexible working hours scheme named \u201cAbsolute Early Birds\u201d and \u201cAbsolute Owlers\u201d. Aka, we\u2019ve given our staff the choice as to whether they would prefer to work 8am to 5pm, or 9am to 6pm.<\/li>\n
- Welcomed a new Absolute Bank Holiday to officially mark the end of lockdown. A day off on us!<\/li>\n
- Introduced birthday treats plus a half day on us.<\/li>\n
- Introduced work-anniversary gifts to mark the occasion, regardless of how many years staff have been onboard.<\/li>\n
- Introduced a new library incentive whereby staff can request to order any (marketing related) book, and we\u2019ll purchase it and send it to them on their behalf.<\/li>\n
- Introduced regular Absolute care packages that are sometimes themed depending on the occasion (Christmas, Valentine\u2019s Day etc) filled with lots of goodies and energising snacks.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Hosting our very own festival in August this year \u2013 Absolute Fest \u2013 and partners are welcome to enjoy our celebrations, too!<\/li>\n
- Regular virtual team events such as cocktail making, horse racing and most recently an escape room.<\/li>\n
- Early finishes on the last Friday of every month. That\u2019s a 2pm finish for our Absolute Early Birds and 3pm finish for our Absolute Owlers!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Plus so, so much more.<\/p>\n

CEO and Founder, Ben Austin<\/a>, said:<\/p>\n\u201c2020 was a difficult year for us, just like it was for many other digital marketing agency<\/a> businesses! We lost over \u00a32mil within the first three months of the pandemic but have since grown by a further 64% thanks to our hard working staff and the processes we had already set out prior to the very first lockdown in March 2020. It’s Absolute-ly amazing to be recognised for all our hard work that has gone into making sure that the agency remains afloat – and successful – during this time. I’m so proud of the team and everything they have achieved!”<\/p>\n
