At WorkNest, we believe our people are what make us

We value, respect and support our colleagues, understand the importance of work-life balance, and work together to deliver a brilliant service for our clients.

All of this is reflected in our high colleague engagement scores, but we’re always looking for new ways to make WorkNest a great place to work.

Diversity and inclusion

At WorkNest, we understand the importance of having an engaged, diverse and inclusive culture. We also recognise that this journey requires continuous improvement, building upon everything that we do, with a commitment to always act with an inclusion lens.

Recently, we gathered diversity data to gain a deeper understanding of our people in order to shape the culture of inclusion and ensure that everyone feels valued, no matter who they are. We have a team of allies across the business who form The Inclusion Alliance, who have a strong and significant voice in raising awareness and making small but hugely important steps towards equity, diversity and inclusion.

We still have much to do, but we’re open to learning and fully committed to making progress in this crucial people agenda.

Without our people, we have nothing.

Our values & behaviours

At WorkNest, we are committed to delivering on our four core values that we believe all our colleagues should align with: Integrity, Excellence, Teamwork and Inclusion.

We hope there will be many more of these collaborative events in the future to embed our culture and guide our strategies (whilst having a bit of fun along the way).

"I know it’s a cliché but I love coming to work each day because of the people I work with. The whole team are so dedicated, focused and great at what they do, I find myself learning something new each day - and that’s really inspiring."

Amy Owens

Marketing Content Writer
"I feel lucky to have colleagues that are like my extended family. I love that I am trusted and given the autonomy to work from home as part of our hybrid working policy – it truly is down to me to work my hardest day in, day out."

Nicola Cragg

Senior Business Development Manager
"This isn’t your standard paralegal role. This is a souped-up getting your hands stuck in role, with a plethora of learning on the job. I highly recommend the experience to any budding Solicitors as it is a great way to gain the key skills that you would generally not get by doing a traditional training contract."

WorkNest in the community

WorkNest is delighted to have Maggie’s (The Home of Cancer Care) as our Charity Partner. Maggie’s offers the best possible support to anyone dealing with , as well as any of their friends and families who walk through their doors. With the number of people living with cancer in the UK expected to rise to four million by 2030, there is an ever-increasing need to provide expert support and guidance to employees affected by cancer.

Maggie’s has beautiful, boutique centres across the whole of the UK; wherever there is a WorkNest office, there is a Maggie’s not too far away. This partnership, therefore, feels even more rewarding as it allows us to support a national charity, with local initiatives across our multi-site business. Our VITO (Voluntary Impactful Time Off) benefit means that our colleagues are able to support their local Maggie’s centres through volunteering opportunities, as well as taking part in our national charity initiatives, such as Tour de Maggie’s – our virtual activity week where we covered 2,275 kilometres and raised lots of money along the way.

We are fortunate that WorkNest can support Maggie’s in more ways than just financially. We provide complimentary employment law advice, eLearning, and an HR System to protect their organisation and advance the way their people work, further enabling their professional growth and supporting their incredible work. Win Win!
