People, Above All
Skills can be taught, but values are intrinsic. We like to employ people based on their talent, their potential and a shared ethos.
Our first principle is “People, Above All” – and that starts with our team.
We’re committed to having the best workplace culture you’ll find.
A culture founded on our shared values of Creativity, Commitment and Collaboration.
A culture that’s based on trust, transparency and a drive to create better working environments for everybody.
Do you share our values?
-
Creative
Courageous in our creativity, we’re intuitive, imaginative and inspired by everything. We look for better ways to do everything, all the time. We refuse to settle for dull ideas.
-
Collaborative
At Interaction you’ll often hear the phrase “All in!” – because we are. We look out for each other’s wellbeing as we work towards our shared goals. We come together to solve problems and we share our successes with our partners and suppliers.
-
Committed
We go above and beyond to deliver workplaces that change lives. We’re passionate and pragmatic in equal measure; we don’t just get the job done – we do it brilliantly.
Meet the Ministry of Action
We think our culture is best-in-class, and we’d like to keep it that way. That’s why we’ve introduced a committee to improve and protect our culture we grow.
The Ministry of Action (MOA) is a small yet mighty team dedicated to improving the lives of Actioneers. In your first few months we’ll buddy you up with someone from the MOA to help you find your feet as you settle, as well as navigate complex issues like “which of these condiments can I use?” or “how do I book holiday?”. They also help organise lots of our social activities and bar nights, including CSR initiatives.
The MOA are always on hand to answer questions, represent your views and generally make sure you have the best possible experience as part of the Interaction team.
Life at Interaction
Each member of staff has two Commitment Days a year; paid days off to support charitable causes. There's also subsidised bar nights every "Fusion Friday", regular Beyond The Bar activities, Wisdom Wednesday learning sessions, and Motivational Mondays, where we host a pop-up smoothie bar.
We love getting together as a team and celebrating our hard work. Every year we have our Christmas party and annual summer party, known as Party in the Park. Most years we have an offsite AGM, where we get away for a couple of nights, update everyone on the year gone by and the year ahead, and then... party.
However, we know all of that stuff is nice, but essentially meaningless if you don't have a shared vision, shared values and a desire to do incredible work as a team.
That's all great, but what does Hannah think?
-
We’re incredibly proud of the culture we’ve created at Interaction, from our smoothies on a Monday morning to regular paid Commitment Days where we assist local charities. Our team are dynamic, talented, warm, and helpful – and totally committed to delighting clients by banishing boring offices.
