An organisation is only as good as its people…

By Vickie Hann, HR Manager

Here at TW CAT we have the best people.

I joined the company in June 2006 and have seen fairly dramatic changes in environment, process and hierarchy but one thing has remained consistent – the ethical, creative and team spirited atmosphere that really makes TW CAT a fulfilling place to work. It’s pretty unusual to be able to say that your work colleagues also count as your friends. The whole “work to live” not “live to work” ethos really comes into play if your working days are spent with people you actually have fun with, care about and respect.

As a company, we want to match the dedication and commitment of those extraordinary people with our own dedication and commitment to their welfare. Although getting the money right is important, it’s often the added extras that make a difference. So TW CAT offers more than 20 individual benefits over and above the basic requirements of an employer: days off to spend volunteering for a charity of your choice, excellent office surroundings and having your birthday off as an addition to your holiday allowance to name but a few.

The search for the best people never stops. This year we’re involved with Wired Sussex’s internship program and are really excited as we’re about to embark on the selection process for a local university graduate hoping to gain some real life work experience within our organisation. The successful candidate will be working closely with our Creative team but will ultimately be involved with everyone here. As well as offering an excellent insight into the working life of TW CAT and all that it involves we also really hope to learn from our new intern and listen to the input and ideas they may have.

As HR & Office Manager for TW CAT I’m really proud of our ‘family’ feel. Speaking to candidates seeking an opportunity to work with us as often as I do it’s really rewarding to know we have a reputation for being such a dynamic and well respected DM agency whilst retaining that ‘everyone matters’ approach. I hope and trust that all organisations strive to work in this way, but I know TW CAT already does!
