Working Environment

Improve Your Working Environment

Build a workplace you’re proud of

There’s so much more to an office than tables and chairs – our post-pandemic world has brought this reality into sharp focus.

Space, facilities, and equipment are all critical considerations that are vital if you want to get the most out of your people and look after their health and wellbeing. If they’re working from home temporarily or permanently, the same rules apply.

Having an ironing board as a desk probably isn’t conducive to a productive working day, after all…

The 1850 Way

We’ll ask you ‘why’ a lot.

You might find all of our questions a bit challenging. But that’s what we’re all about. Challenging the norms and helping you come up with those winning edges that make your company a great place to work.

Whether that’s adjusting your flexible working arrangements, helping you put the right people, in the right place, at the right time, or making your workplace COVID secure (without sucking the soul out of it).

We’ll help you figure out what needs to change for the benefit of your people and your business, then help you make that change happen.

We Will…

Review your office environment (desks, floorplans, and even buildings)
Make the most of your office space
Get the right equipment for the employees
Maximise the benefits of flexible working
Help you get work/life balance right across your organisation

Testimonials

We have been working with Claire since early 2020. Claire's support has been instrumental in providing clarity in our business over employee policies. We have found this has enormously improved confidence and morale through the COVID pandemic. Claire has a great approach to HR and it is refreshing to be working with a company that is passionate about their product. I couldn't recommend Claire enough. We are looking forward to working together into the future.

I would highly recommend the services of 1850. They were a delight to work with, professional yet approachable, they made the whole process of reviewing our HR policies and documentation straight forward. A task I had been putting off for sometime was not the headache I had envisaged once they reviewed our processes and provided advice on the best way forward. We look forward to continuing to work with Claire and the team on future projects.

STAUNTON ROOK - ACCOUNT DIRECTOR

Claire has been providing out-sourced HR support for my business, supporting everything from contract and policy development (definitely not a handbook!) to consulting on working environment, team structure and culture. She combines her in-depth knowledge of the legal requirements for employers with a refreshing perspective on what it means to be a people-focused business, and how to put that vision into action. If you truly want to put people at the heart of what you do, I would thoroughly recommend working with Claire and her team.
