WE'RE CHANGING THE WAY PEOPLE THINK ABOUT WORK

Because...

of people are disengaged at work

plan to jump ship this year

Not a pretty sight.

We're here to change that, transforming the way brands attract and retain the right people.

We’re making “living for the weekend” a thing of the past.

So many people have Sunday night dread, Monday blues, crawl past hump day into “thank god it’s Friday”. Back in 2014 when we were founded, we saw what “work” looked like for most people and we set out to change that.

We live by our values

To us, values aren’t just another buzzword. They're our guiding principles of Wiser, a true mark of what we stand for. They weave into our day-to-day language and inspire every action. We wrap up each financial year by hosting an awards ceremony that celebrates our people and rewards those who live and breathe the values at an exceptional level. Meet our winners from 2024.

Be Real

Be yourself when everyone's watching, there’s no shame here.

Back Yourself

Believe in your own abilities — confidence is contagious.

Take it, make it yours, and be proud of it.

Use your initiative and act with purpose for everyone’s gain.

How do you feel included at Wiser?

So Wiser makes me feel included by actually caring and recognising women's health, specifically their time of the month. Being in the office four days a week means we’re most likely to be in the office during this time, and so our happiness team have put together a box with everything you can think of to get us through the day, even a discreet machine to help with the cramps. It's a lifesaver.

How do you feel included at Wiser?

One thing I really appreciate about Wiser is the office spaces that we have. I'm a fairly extroverted person, but sometimes even I need some quiet time to focus with no distractions or people around. Fortunately, we've got an office space that sees every different personality and working style, so it's easy to crack on no matter how you like to work. If you need me, I'll be up in the rainforest.

Head of Client Strategy

How do you feel included at Wiser?

I felt included at Wiser from the start. It was the mix of different people that helped initially. Creatives, recruitment, tech etc. Personalities that don't usually come together under one roof. Now, however, I think it's our culture. People can be openly challenged. Ideas are really workshopped, and I feel valued for what I can bring to the table, not the way I look or sound.

Make yourself at home

Our culture is the embodiment of our purpose, and our office is where our purpose comes to life. Our monthly open feedback forum allows our Purple People to speak up about changes they’d like to see in our space to make them feel more included. And we love a challenge. Our latest improvement? A 500 square foot rainforest dedicated to quiet, relaxed working. We love the buzz of a busy office, but we know that sometimes you need a bit of peace, quiet and trickling water sounds to get your best work done. Feedback came in for more sturdy working zones up there, so we added single desk spaces for ultimate focus if a hammock's not your style.

Cosy breakout area with grass flooring, large leafy plants, rattan furniture and a fabric swing chair under soft lighting — a calming space that supports workplace wellbeing programs and mental health initiatives.

Lush indoor wellness zone filled with tropical plants, green carpet, soft lighting and a central hammock swing — promoting restorative environments and employee wellbeing initiatives as part of transforming workplace culture.

We’ve also added a multi-faith room, flexible bank holidays, a Work From Anywhere policy and appointed a DEI Lead who owns all projects and training to make all of our people feel safe and cosy at Wiser.

So, what do we believe about work?

Work Doesn't have to be transactional.

Most people see work as just a transaction of time and skill for money. You turn up, you lend your brain, the company pays you, and you go home and build your quality of life. Given you spend 90,000 hours of your life at the office, we think it should provide a decent chunk of your quality of life too.

Work Doesn’t have to be political.

Many work in a world where you have to put down others to push yourself up. Where hushed handshakes behind closed doors matter more than the value of your contributions. We think politics should stay in Westminster, not in the world of Wiser.

Work doesn’t have to be about how old you are.

Most people need to have age on their side to be given opportunity at work because companies see young people as a risk. We think if you’re good enough, you’re old enough.

A white woman and man in running gear celebrate post-race, each wearing medals and holding drinks while embracing — capturing team spirit and resilience aligned with values-led company culture transformation.

Work Friends shouldn’t just be 9-5.

At ordinary companies, pals made at work rarely make it as true friends for life. At Wiser, our open and honest culture means that connections made at work can grow into true, long-term friendships.

Work shouldn’t only be about money.

Almost every company has either been sold before or is priming itself for sale. This creates an environment centred around money, not happiness. We think mega is more important than money, and we’re not for sale.

Work shouldn’t Make people feel shame.

We all make mistakes, but some places make you feel silly for doing so. Our people feel no shame around failure, because it's how we learn and improve.
