Building a culture where you can

Make moves with head and heart

At Houseful, we take big leaps forward but we always have each other’s backs.

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 we get together

We’re a hybrid-first, flexible crowd. But getting together in person to connect and collaborate is an equally important part of our culture.

Housewarming

We give our new starters a warm welcome, and the opportunity to meet their Housemates, over drinks and pizza.

Building together

Teams work in person regularly, according to what works best for their customers, collective goals, and 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

Everyone is encouraged to join our monthly Company Updates at our London HQ, and there’s always a themed social with food and drinks afterwards.

Celebrating in style

We like to celebrate success with our Housemates across the company by bringing everyone together... with a Company-wide summer bash. We’ve had full-on festivals and sundowners on the Thames.

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.

Transparent on the tricky topics

Our senior leaders regularly host ‘Ask me anything’ live Q&A sessions, helping us lean in on tricky topics or just get to know them a little better.

Monthly Company Updates

Hosted and broadcast from our London HQ, we review important business metrics and financial performance openly, every month.

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.

Podcasts

We create space for colleagues to talk about meaningful topics and share their personal stories or experiences through our own internal podcasts.

CEO lunches

Either in person or fully virtual, we’ll shout you a spot of lunch while you chat openly and freely with our CEO, along with a handful of colleagues.

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

We care about our people at Houseful, and understand that wellbeing is a systemic challenge, not just about offering fruit in the office (although you can grab a banana, too). We offer team workshops and resources, based on significant research, to encourage healthy high performance.

Our Wellbeing Champions and mental health first aiders can guide you in making the most of all the support available, designed to keep you mentally, physically and financially fit. They also steer our wellbeing agenda, including ‘Wellbeing Wednesday’ sessions and benefit info drop-ins.

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

“It’s a really inclusive workplace. I like that I can ask the big bosses their opinions on pretty much anything in ‘Ask me anything’ sessions,”

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

“The Company Updates mean we all know what’s happening with the business and the opportunity to have a drink and socialise after makes them a highlight,”

“It’s a big company but the fact that our brands are so connected means we are able to connect too at events like the 2022 Summer Festival.”

“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,”
