Employee benefits
To reward our employees for their exceptional contributions, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package across all our locations.
One of our unique benefits is being part of our wonderful international team. Our team members are committed, dedicated, and passionate about everything they do and this is reflected in the way they collaborate with one another.
Our organisation is dedicated to fostering an environment where innovation and personal growth are highly encouraged, and where every team member can thrive and make a meaningful difference.
As well as supportive occupational sick pay and leave, regular socials and eye care checks, we offer a range of other activities and initiatives to support and promote our staff wellbeing.
Annual leave
We offer a generous holiday allowance of 33 days for all staff. This will be made up of leave and public holidays which vary depending on the country you reside in. The entitlement is calculated on a pro-rata basis for part-time staff. Staff can also carry forward up to five annual leave days to the following year. Our office is normally closed between Christmas and New Year and staff are not required to use annual leave to cover this period.
Company days
At the end of the year, our office typically closes for a few days and during this time, staff are not required to use their annual leave
Enhanced family leave and pay
We are proud to offer family-friendly policies that support a good work-life balance. Our policies include generous paid maternity, paternity, adoption, and foster care leave, along with flexible work arrangements to accommodate personal responsibilities.
Pension
We offer generous provision for pension to all our staff.
Life assurance
We offer a life assurance scheme paying four times the employee’s annual salary in the unfortunate event of death during employment.
Medical insurance
We offer a contribution towards private healthcare for staff based in countries where a nationwide healthcare system does not exist.
Travel insurance
We offer travel insurance to all staff and consultants who are required to travel internationally for work, on behalf of GNDR.
Flexible working
In order to support and encourage a healthy work-life balance for our staff, we are happy to consider flexible working requests as part of our recruitment process. Flexible working options are available for all staff in line with our policy. Being a global organisation, most staff work remotely depending on their role and location.
We also provide time off in lieu if staff have worked significantly more than their contractual working hours or following international travel.
Learning and development
We fully support and encourage the continuous learning and development of our staff to ensure everyone is fully equipped to thrive and progress in their careers. We offer an integrated and holistic approach to learning including through individualised development plans during our annual appraisals and by offering in-house learning and development opportunities.
Social events
We are a friendly bunch here at GNDR and we genuinely believe that our people are our greatest asset. We work collaboratively to promote a work environment where everyone feels safe, engaged and motivated. Everyone’s contribution is valued and we celebrate each other’s successes in different ways. We have regular team meetings and also social events throughout the year.
Staff groups
We have several channels for internal communication and collaboration. And we’re working towards establishing peer support groups.
