Fact: you spend more time at work than you do at home. So, getting up and into the office every day must be worth your while. We’re fortunate to work with an impressive roster of clients that make coming into work a breeze, but we recognise a career in communications can be demanding at times, too. An integral part of the Rooster culture is to always back and support our team, which is why we developed an impressive employee benefits programme other agencies could only dream of.
For today’s blog, we’re taking a closer look at the benefits we offer every member of our team. If you’re considering a career move, and your benefits don’t stack up – drop us a line! We’re always open to speculative applications, so whether you’re a PR superstar or a social media wizard, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s get down to business. What can you expect?
Well, let’s start with perhaps the ULTIMATE perk. Unlimited holiday!
Yes – you really did read that correctly. We know how important it is to work hard/play hard, which is why we decided to set absolutely no limit on how much holiday you can take. Whether it’s an extended trip to Thailand or you prefer multiple mini breaks, we’ve got you covered.
Also amongst our top-ranking benefits is a gym or spa membership. We understand the health benefits of working up a sweat, and the physical and mental rewards of exercise. But we also know not all of us are gym bunnies, so many Roosters enjoy a membership at the nearby Nirvana Spa instead.
Reverse Commuting is very much a trend – several members of the team commute out of the big smoke to join us in the Berkshire countryside. Whichever direction you travel, we’ll cover half of your costs if you commute via public transport, and as a B Corp agency, we encourage our team to use public transport as much as possible. Good for the planet, good for your wallet. There’s also a cycle to work scheme, a free tea or coffee on us if you walk or cycle, plus a free railcard for those who take the train. Phew!
You’ll also enjoy private AXA healthcare, with comprehensive cancer cover, dentistry, opticians, physiotherapy, acupuncture and a 24-hour helpline all included. What’s more, the healthcare extends to your immediate family, so your partner or little ones are provided for, too.
Plus, let’s not forget all the fabulous foodie freebies. Our pantry is packed to the brim with organic treats, goodies, and breakfast items, plus, we get together for a weekly team lunch, freshly prepared by a different member of the team. To celebrate payday, we even offer lunch on the company the final Friday of the month.
And that’s not all: add enhanced maternity and paternity packages into the mix, numerous wellbeing initiatives, generous client discounts, subsidised phone bills, and not to mention our Rooster bashes – we’re known for our epic Christmas parties as well as summer away days, designed to bring the team together for fun and relaxation.
Of course, a knock-out benefits programme is all well and good – but ultimately, we recognise our employees want to be paid fairly. We offer competitive salaries and regularly benchmark against the leading PR recruitment agencies to ensure we’re keeping up with industry standards. Generalised salary bands and job descriptions are accessible to the whole company, so you know exactly what you need to do to progress. Regular bonuses, an individual training budget and a company pension mean we’ve catered for you financially, too.
