Work plays a huge part in life, so why not make it enjoyable? At JacksonGrant, we focus on building a work environment where people feel happy, valued, and excited to show up every day. A positive culture does more than boost productivity. It keeps teams motivated and engaged.

From open communication to wellness perks, here’s how we make JacksonGrant a workplace where people love to work.   

Keeping It Real: Open and Honest Communication

Transparency is at the heart of how we operate. Every month, we hold all-hands meetings where leadership shares company updates, goals, and future plans. Employees are never left in the dark, and we encourage open conversations at every level.

Checking In with New Team Members

Communication starts on day one. To help new hires feel supported, we have structured check-ins at 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. These meetings are more than just performance updates. They are opportunities for new employees to share how they are adjusting, whether they feel challenged, and if they have the resources they need to succeed.

We ask about their job scope, team relationships, and overall experience at JacksonGrant. By keeping communication open from the start, we ensure that small concerns do not turn into bigger issues, helping new employees feel fully integrated into the team.

Got questions? Ask away!

Employees can submit questions directly through "Ask The Partners." Whether it is a big idea or a small concern, leadership listens. Prefer to stay anonymous? Drop your thoughts in the locked suggestion box in the kitchen. Leadership addresses every submission at all-hands meetings.

Well-Being First: Happy Employees, Happy Work

Let’s talk wellness. Because if you’re exhausted, overworked, and stressed out, how are you supposed to do your best?

We don’t just encourage work-life balance—we build it into our culture with small but meaningful perks:

• Massage Fridays – Yep, we bring in a masseuse to help everyone unwind at the end of the week.

•  Corporate Gym Memberships – Discounted rates + office visits from personal trainers.

• Step-Tracking Challenges – Compete for fun prizes (and bragging rights) via the Happily.ai app.

The result? People feel good, stay motivated, and bring their best selves to work.

Technology Making Engagement Easy

Real engagement happens daily, not just during annual reviews. That is why we use Happily.ai, a platform that keeps employees connected, recognised, and supported in real time.

With daily check-ins, employees can share how they feel, and leadership can spot concerns early. The platform also makes recognition effortless, allowing colleagues to appreciate each other’s contributions instantly.

The numbers speak for themselves. Employee engagement jumped 95%, and satisfaction tripled since we started using it. Happily.ai has also helped reinforce our company values in everyday interactions, making sure they are more than just words on paper.

The impact goes beyond internal improvements. JacksonGrant was recognised with 3 Happily.ai awards in 2023 for Brand Advocacy, Peer Recognition, and Employee Satisfaction. These achievements highlight how technology has helped us build a more engaged and motivated workplace.

Celebrating Success and Recognising Hard Work

No one likes to feel unnoticed. A little appreciation goes a long way, which is why recognition is part of our daily culture. Monthly all-hands meetings include moments to celebrate top performers and team players. Instead of waiting for official reviews, Happily.ai allows employees to give each other real-time shoutouts, turning everyday moments into chances to recognise great work.

Whether it is an unexpected reward for extra effort or simply hearing "great job" from a colleague, these moments of appreciation help build a workplace where people feel valued.

Helping Employees Grow

People do their best work when they are learning and progressing. That is why we make sure our team has access to real opportunities for growth.

Training That Builds Future Leaders

Regular training sessions cover everything from recruitment skills to leadership development. Soft skills workshops focus on emotional intelligence, communication, and mindfulness, helping employees develop well beyond their day-to-day responsibilities.

Mentorship and Continuous Learning

Mentorship is another key part of our learning culture. Senior consultants guide junior team members, offering real-world insights and support. Beyond in-house learning, employees also have access to a UK-based training platform, giving them opportunities to upskill at their own pace.

Flexibility That Works for Everyone

A rigid work environment does not suit everyone. Here, we trust our team to know when they need focus time at home and when collaboration in the office makes more sense. Our hybrid work model gives employees the freedom to balance productivity with personal well-being

A Workplace Where Everyone Belongs

At JacksonGrant, the goal is not just to hire great people. It is to keep them happy, engaged, and growing. The right culture makes all the difference, and we are committed to creating a space where people thrive.
