Building a culture where you can

Make moves with head and heart

At Houseful, you'll find ambitious and intelligent people, who demonstrate humility and kindness, every day. We balance progress and speed with care, empathy and integrity to solve real problems for real people.

How our teams get together

Each of our businesses come together in ways that make most sense of their individual needs, both culturally and commercially.

Building together

Our teams work in person in our London HQ regularly. Each business within Houseful has their own rhythm and pattern according to what works best for their customers, their collective goals, and their day-to-day work.

Team socials

Each team has a monthly social budget for informal get-togethers. We’ve seen everything from cookery classes to go-karting, and even volunteering.

Monthly in-office events

Each business has a dedicated Social Committee, who arrange business-wide in-office and hybrid social events, hosted at our HQ in London, and typically aligned with an upcoming All Hands.

Staying connected virtually

When we’re not in the same place, we stay connected through our virtual communities and by creating spaces for important conversations and communications.

Regular All Hands' and Q&A

Hosted and broadcast from our London HQ, each business comes together regularly for important business and financial performance updates, as well as for the latest people news and upcoming initiatives.

Slack

As well as #houseful-together, there’s a Slack channel for just about everything and everyone. We use it to expand our networks, build our sense of community, work asynchronously, and for keeping informed.

Expert talks

We share our knowledge and expertise with each other through dedicated virtual talks or panel events, as well as inviting external expert to share theirs too.

Wellbeing

Driving a culture of Healthy High Performance. where positive wellbeing is respected and encouraged, is about more than just offering fruit in the office (although you can always grab a free banana too). It's also about encouraging self-awareness, having the tools and resources to thrive, and knowing where to find them.

One of the ways we do that is through our benefits offering. Our central People Operations and Reward team work with a cross-business network of Wellbeing Champions and qualified Mental Health First Aiders, who are trained to guide you in making the most of all of the support and benefits available, that are designed to keep you mentally, financially and physically fit. That includes hosting informative webinars, running regular drop-in sessions, and mental health awareness campaigns.

Win or learn, together

We move fast, but we never forget to celebrate how far we’ve come and the people or teams who’ve made it happen. We celebrate the humans behind the good stuff with Slack shout-outs and internal annual awards. But we reflect on and learn from the not-so-good stuff, too.

There are multiple opportunities to share feedback, opinions and ideas. The data from our regular company-wide and team-led engagement surveys helps us keep our fingers on the pulse. Monthly ‘Ask me anything’ Q&As with our executive team tackle tough topics (and favourite biscuits).

What people say

“We can speak openly and say what we think at all levels. The people really are what makes the business what it is,”

“We all pull together to celebrate the wins but, more importantly, look out for one another through the setbacks whether at work or in our personal lives,”

“It’s a fun and vibrant place to work. I try new things every single week,”

“We’re a really collaborative bunch who always come to work with a smile on our faces,”
