Working For Us

We want Wingrave Yeats to be a place where great people want to work. We pride ourselves on our very low staff turnover and our dedication to staff development.

Coaching Culture

We encourage a ‘coaching culture’ within the firm. We do this across all levels of staff. It works because of the lack of barriers between partners and staff and the level of responsibility given to even the most junior staff.

We operate a system of rotating trainees as working PAs to the partners so that they are exposed to clients as much as possible. This helps them develop their handling skills.

Team Building

The team spirit is very important to us. Besides the normal round of departmental and firm wide Christmas lunches we also hold the annual Christmas Dinner (held in February!), and an annual outing for the whole organisation. We’ve been to Paris, Barcelona, Nice, Prague, Amsterdam, Madrid, Rome, and Lisbon. Last year we went to Budapest! We also field our own Netball and Football teams. Our Football team is currently top of the Top Corner League (again!).

Dress code

Staff dress casually on Fridays (depending on client meetings) and we operate a flexi-time working system, within core hours.

Communication

We have an open-door communications policy and frequent staff meetings at all levels. This gives everyone in the business a voice – both setting expectations and expressing needs. We produce a monthly internal newsletter and every 3 months a member of staff volunteers to stand in as editor.

Charity Days / Giving Something Back

Each of us has the opportunity to spend a day 'Giving Something Back'. The staff of each department choose a charity they wish to support. We are currently organising a day at Kelvin Grove Primary School where we will be clearing a presently unusable outside space in order to give the children an area to play in.

Sabbaticals

We grant leave to travel where appropriate. Go to Lies Issue 13 (page 21, "Laura's Travels") and Lies Issue 14 (page 13, "Back to my Future") to read how Laura Caldwell spent 12 months travelling around the world.

Alumni Club

It's small (not many people leave) but it's perfectly formed. Keeping up with our old friends is very important to us and hopefully useful and fun for them.
