OUR BENEFITS

OUR BENEFITS

WHAT YOU GET FROM US

If you've read all about Our Culture, you may be thinking "OK, but what about the practical benefits of being a member of the team?" Never fear, from flexible working to private healthcare, extensive annual leave to regular salary reviews, there’s a reason we’ve been voted one of the Best in the World for Workers by B Corp.

1

REGULAR SALARY AND BONUS REVIEWS

We use a standardised performance metric to balance your productivity with your salary, and if your output is off the scale, we’ll adapt your salary accordingly. This has nothing to do with how many hours you work, just how smart you work and means we can recognise good work without bureaucratic delays.

5

WEEKLY TIME FOR SELF-LEARNING

Curiosity is one of our core behaviours, and the continued education and development of our team is central to our success, enabling us to stay at the forefront of a rapidly changing sector. Each team member has a dedicated allowance of time each week to work on their learning and development, supported by their manager. 

2

FLEXIBLE WORKING

Trust is the default at Mesh, and we want everyone who works here to have a healthy balance of life and work. Whether it’s a doctor’s appointment, childcare, a religious event, or a sports class, as long as you get the work done, you can work to your own timetable. 

6

PRIVATE HEALTHCARE

A healthy team is a happy team, which is why we offer private healthcare as standard for all staff – including basic dental and mental health care. 

3

REMOTE OR IN PERSON – IT'S UP TO YOU

We have an office in Surrey, but our team live all over the country. We don’t set rules on when people need to be in the office – some people come in every day and others just check in every now and then by coming to our team events.

7

TIME OFF FOR VOLUNTEERING

We take our B Corp certification very seriously and we want to encourage all our staff to contribute towards our social impact, by working together to support local charities – from wrapping Christmas gifts and batch cooking for the night shelter, to abseiling down the Spinnaker Tower.

4

UNLIMITED ANNUAL LEAVE

Everyone is eligible for at least 20 days annual leave (plus an extra day for your birthday), and everyone has the opportunity to take unlimited extra days of leave if they meet their productivity targets.

8

GENEROUS PARENTING ALLOWANCE

We offer four months fully paid leave for either parent, so you can spend time with your new arrival without worrying about how you’re going to pay the bills. While our regular keeping in touch days and flexible working help to make you feel part of the team and supported throughout.

Being a mum and a Meshling is about balancing two important roles in my life. Remote working gives me the gift of time without impacting on team dynamics. I am in contact via video call and chat with colleagues every day and regular team meetings and activity days ensure I feel a very valued member of the team. Creating a work-life balance gives me the freedom to pursue my career, to continue to grow and develop professionally, and make a positive impact in the world.

TRAINING + DEVELOPMENT

Helping you fulfil your aspirations...

Continuous improvement is at the heart of Mesh’s success. Not only is it vital to anyone working in the ever-changing sustainability sector, but we like to think of it as the natural consequence of our three core behaviours: curiosity, selflessness and positivity (find out more on the Our Culture page). Our team members come from a variety of industries and backgrounds, and often arrive at Mesh at different stages within their career, which means their training needs are as varied as they are. 

GETTING UP TO SCRATCH

Initial training is geared to new starters and graduates and allows us to quickly get a sense of levels of understanding in key areas and start to fill any gaps. We use videos and case studies to lead new recruits through a series of typical projects, introducing them to our processes along the way. New starters are paired with a mentor and encouraged to shadow and support other team members while they become confident in our processes, this is also a great opportunity to get to know teammates and share knowledge on how we can improve our way of working.

IN HOUSE CPD SESSIONS

The Operations Team hold weekly CPD sessions. These are either product based, with external speakers demonstrating technology or discussing case studies, or challenge based; geared to share a new process development, internal tool, or way of working. Team member are encouraged to invite their own speakers to suit the demands of their projects and this helps the whole team stay abreast of emerging technology and best practice.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Every member of the team is allocated a generous training budget and is expected to lead their own training and development, with support and guidance from their manager. To help steer this training we use a competency matrix to track and record each team member’s confidence and experience in different areas of their work – both technical and soft skills. Quarterly appraisals are held to map progress against realistic goals, recognise success, and agree learning targets for the quarter.

Working at Mesh Energy as a graduate has been a rewarding experience, where every day I am able to apply my education to real-world situations and make a positive impact on our clients’ energy needs. The supportive and inclusive culture at Mesh helps me grow professionally and also allowed me to be a part of a team that is dedicated to creating a better/sustainable energy future for all.

A WORD ON FEEDBACK:


Feedback is central to development. You can’t always go it alone; hearing and offering feedback should be both a comfort and an incentive to improve. 

OUR IDEA OF GOOD FEEDBACK:

Should be constructive and solutions-focused.


Can be hard to hear, but that's usually when it’s a truth it's important to face.


Is horizontal – everyone needs and should receive respectful feedback, new starters and managers alike.


Recognises success as well as areas for improvement.


Should keep us on our toes and ensure we keep striving.
