Advice to Management

Great job - keep up the good work!

Pros

I worked in Essentianskillz for a while and I can definitely say it's a unique working place. People are super engaged and friendly, the daily atmosphere is great and working conditions are exceptional. Because of the fast and sustainable growth of the company and the product they develop (health and safety e-learning system - all customers love it!), everyone feels to be a part of something good and positive and management is strongly supporting a work-life balance. The company is well structured, so even though they've been on the market for more than 15 years it still feels like a perfect startup.

Advice to Management

Keep up doing the great work

Pros

Great work culture and very supportive. There is no politics - no us and them. They treat their employees and their customers very well and that is what provides such a lovely working environment. They pay decent wages and provide a pension, health allowance and great canteen with half price meals in the restaurant across the car park.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work!

Pros

A great culture. Everybody pulling on the same direction and happy to help each other when needed. Continual growth year on year. Always looking for new products and markets to take the company forward to the next level.

Advice to Management

Keep on developing and pushing into new products and markets. Put a pension scheme in place for all. Company wide bonus scheme to celebrate success.

Pros

Management - Management at EssentialSkillz have been better than any company I have previously worked for. Being able to express ideas from a new stand point and see higher level actually interested makes you feel like you are part of the entire organisation and not just a number.

Staff - I've never seen so many people motivated to work for a company and see people genuinely excited to work on a product that helps customers it is like a big family.

Offices - We have two offices with the headquarters being the modern office in Ireland, I work from the Chester office which is lovely and close to everything we need in the UK.

Learning - My skills within design and coding have increased tenfold since working here, everyday I'm presented with new challenges which allows me to learn the latest technologies and see them working in live environments.

Flexibility - Being able to work from home if I need to is also a massive bonus and trusting staff with this is a really nice thing as well.

Just an all round good company to work for.

Advice to Management

Invest in the staff at the company and keep the culture as it grows, the atmosphere of a small company can be lost very easily and its a huge bonus to working at EssentialSkillz.

Pros

Open an collaborative culture. Genuine desire to win and keep business by creating value for the customers.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing. Introduce a holiday purchase scheme on salary sacrifice to allow top up of annual leave.

Pros

One of my colleagues added that this is like a big family, well that's exactly how I would put it, just great people to be around, a CEO who is not a name above a door but a friend to us all, makes this the perfect place to be oh and by the way, a fantastic product to add to this great company!

Advice to Management

Keep doing what your doing, it works!
