Our People are our Biggest Asset (well worth the capitals!) And we want to make sure they know this so let’s explain more about our culture, opportunities, and how and why we do what we do.
Developing and supporting our people are key to us so at the heart of everything we do and what our colleagues can expect from us, are our HM3 RISE Values. These values are what drive us forward and influence the way in which we get things done.
We truly act on our values and celebrate how they are brought to life through our annual RISE awards where colleagues nominate their peers who demonstrate and champion the behaviours and actions that make HM3 a great place to work.
Our supportive culture offers many opportunities to develop at HM3 and we promote continuous learning. Click below to explore the ways our thriving culture is brought to life…
SMART goals: For 100% of employees, supporting them in expanding core professional and human skills and setting clear and transparent career aspirations. This is empowering every colleague to own and drive their career forward.
Annual reflections and review processes: Allowing colleagues to have open conversations about their progress and their careers. Goals are regularly reviewed throughout the year allowing for plenty of opportunity for conversation and transparency.
Progression pathways: Designed to offer clarity, visibility, and the opportunity for individuals to take charge of their own professional journey. We champion a ‘grow your own’ ethos. Everyone knows what they are working toward, and how to get there.
Bite-sized training: Ensuring continual development, meaning colleagues can step away from their desks to focus on self-improvement. Regular ‘Power Hour’ sessions develop personal skills while ‘How to Wow’ focusses on personal development.
Mentoring scheme: Recognising and tapping in to talent within HM3. It gives colleagues the chance to share knowledge, support and learn from each other. We recognise we all have something to contribute, regardless of role or experience. Our culture provides the environment to grow. Mentoring is open to 100% of employees, all teams and individuals at all levels.
Our RISE Values (Respect, Innovate, Shine, Engage) encourage everyone to bring their whole self to work. Our inclusive culture promotes being the best version of yourself and puts wellbeing well and truly on our agenda.
Trained Mental Health First Aiders in our offices offer confidential support to colleagues. They are not trained therapists but are trained by MHFA England to listen, reassure, respond and help access support.
We recognise that one size does not fit all so we offer a range of initiatives designed to encourage our teams to take #techtimeout. Here is just a flavour of what we have to offer:
The Employee Engagement Committee (EEC) acts as the voice for all employees. The committee is made up of representatives from across HM3, from all roles, at all levels meaning every voice can contribute and be heard.
The EEC invites ideas, delivers initiatives, organises events and coordinates many of our charitable fundraising efforts. The group also supports wellbeing initiatives to ensure HM3 remains a happy and healthy place to work.
As positive communication is about talking and making time to listen, we create the environment that makes this happen. We are all ears!
Weekly check-ins are encouraged via our employee engagement platform.
Regular feedback via the platform measures sentiment and opinion across HM3 – as well as being a place for suggesting new ideas. Every team member has a voice at HM3, and our ‘open door’ policy means any employee can raise worries, share ideas, be heard and feel valued.
HUB Days are held monthly to allow colleagues to spend time together and connect.
Business Briefings are held each month on HUB Days, announcing news and updates directly, simultaneously, and in person.
The Employee Engagement Committee (EEC) has a direct line to the senior team allowing all employees to feedback honest opinion, sentiment, and ideas.
Vibe is our intranet. It is where colleagues enjoy sharing good news, welcoming new starters, dates for the diary, positive feedback, updates and more.
Open plan spaces mean no barriers, literally or figuratively! Our senior team is accessible and visible. ‘Open door’ collaboration encourages getting to know each other, and our clients benefit from free-flowing ideas between teams and employees.
RISE Awards are celebrated annually providing another way to recognise colleagues who are demonstrating our Values. The awards are peer nominated, which means more. Our MD even recognises each nomination in a hand-written personalised note!
Recognition for work milestones are also celebrated, including ‘workiversaries’ and long service (and if celebrating an employee milestone, cake!) Can you tell we love to celebrate and recognise achievements?
Referral recognition is business to business and between employees. Referrals really matter and are recognised through our referral bonus scheme which rewards employees.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is a large part of working at HM3. We want employees to succeed, and so we provide the kind of working environment which allows everyone to do so.
Progressive mindset matters in any commercial and forward-thinking legal business such as ours. We have high expectations but also recognise that home life and family commitments are important.
