Rencontrez les équipes Spyrosoft : un entretien avec Gemma Blackaller, People Partner chez Spyrosoft UK

Janvier est une période spéciale pour notre équipe britannique, car nous célébrons l'anniversaire de l'ouverture de notre bureau de Bournemouth !

C'est pourquoi, dans cette série, nous avons parlé à Gemma Blackaller, la personne qui connaît le mieux la culture du travail de bureau chez les UK. Voyons à quoi il ressemble aujourd'hui, et ce qui attend ce site à l'avenir.

Quand avez-vous rejoint Spyrosoft, et comment vous êtes-vous senti durant la période d'intégration ?

I joined in November 2020. In the UK, we were just going into Covid lockdown II, which meant my whole onboarding was completed remotely. I was one of the first employees in the UK, though, so almost everyone got involved in my introduction to Spyrosoft, which was great, and I had many familiar faces straight away, even though I didn’t get to meet them for a few months.

Comment décririez-vous l'ambiance dans le bureau de Bournemouth ?

We are a small, friendly team working closely to support each other. As a small team, we know that everyone in the UK has their own skills and experiences, and everyone at every level is respectful of each other’s strengths so that these can be tapped into as and when required for the benefit of all of us and the company as a whole. In addition to our focus on teamwork, we are proud of our commitment to many CSR activities. The plethora of ideas for these initiatives comes from a collective effort. Our team actively proposes and decides which CSR activities to pursue, ensuring they align with our values and resonate with the entire team. This inclusive decision-making process not only reflects the interests and passions of our people but also increases the overall engagement and sense of purpose within our Bournemouth office.

L'équipe de Bournemouth ressemble vraiment à un groupe de bons amis. Quel est le secret pour créer une équipe aussi soudée ?

We actively encourage team members to come into the office regularly, and most people are in the office at least 50% of their working time. We have a lovely bright office and access to the ‘sky-lounge’, break-out areas and gym in the building, so there are plenty of facilities to keep people happy at the office. I believe the key to our close-knit culture is the fact that everyone is mutually respected, and we work together to ensure that everyone quickly feels an essential part of the team. We hold regular formal 1:1’s, along with full UK team monthly meetings where current projects are discussed, and we try to ensure that everyone has an awareness of who we are working with and what is being worked on, which helps to keep the ‘team’ feel. We also socialise together regularly with activities to cater for all!

Sur quel type de projets travaille votre équipe de People Partners ?

We are closely linked to the commercial side of the business here in the UK, so we get involved in what is required by our current clients and as part of the bid process, which helps to shape our future workload and initiatives. This year, 2024 is likely to be dominated by recruitment, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, along with changes introduced by the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023, which is likely to bring about changes in our labour laws going forward following BREXIT.

Pourriez-vous nous parler des récents ateliers internes sur la Diversité et l'Inclusion ?

The recent roll-out of our Diversity & Inclusion workshops was a great opportunity to engage with the whole company and work together with the rest of the People Ops department to deliver positive messages as a team. The engagement from the company was very supportive, making it an excellent experience for all of us.

La diversité et l'inclusion sont des enjeux importants pour nous, chez Spyrosoft, afin de garantir un fonctionnement efficace et de disposer d'une main-d'œuvre engagée et diversifiée pour offrir des solutions uniques et innovantes à nos clients.

Comment trouvez-vous le travail dans un modèle transversal avec des collègues du monde entier ? Cela apporte-t-il des défis ?

There are many challenges, including different time zones, values and cultures. However, these are far outweighed by the advantages of working with different people across the globe, which helps us be more creative and pull from a wider range of resources and experiences, leading to smarter and more innovative decisions.

Quels sont les plans ou les objectifs de la branche britannique en 2024 ? Quelque chose d'excitant à partager ?

Most of our plans will be based around the requirements of the new upcoming contract. This is going to shape all of our recruitment and retention activities, which will take up much of the resources here in the UK. One of the most exciting aspects for me is, without a doubt, the expansion of the team, and everyone being able to build on their existing skills and experiences and being challenged to achieve even more!

Pour terminer, quelle est votre chose préférée chez Spyrosoft ?

Ce que je préfère chez Spyrosoft, ce sont les personnes et les défis. Les deux m'aident à me développer sur le plan personnel et professionnel.
