We strive to make Base as attractive a working environment as possible\u200a\u2014\u200aboth for those that haven\u2019t started yet and for those that we want to stick around. Here, we give a glimpse behind the curtain at how Base puts people first; whether new recruits or office veterans.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

We\u2019re aware that people want more than just job security; they want a place to call a home from home. We like to think that\u2019s what we\u2019ve built in Base.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

From day one, we\u2019ve worked to build a company with a great atmosphere and a benefits package that reflects our core values of innovation, free-thinking and wellbeing. We continue to audit these benefits annually as we want to make sure that we continue to put people first. That means catering to individuals<\/em> at all stages of their personal and professional lives\u200a\u2014\u200anot simply thinking about the crowd.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Here are some of the revisions we\u2019ve recently made with this in mind, and a look at how they fit into the wider picture of personal development, wellbeing and work\/life balance at Base.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Two weeks of fully paid parental leave
<\/strong>We recently took stock of the people in the room and where many of them are in their personal lives. The result: we now also offer fully paid parental leave for those first two exciting weeks, be it Maternity, Paternity or Shared.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Thinking about the future\u200a\u2014\u200apensions and time off
<\/strong>We now offer pension and holiday benefits that scale with time, so you not only have a reason to join, but also a very good reason to stay.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Following the introduction of auto-enrolment pensions in 2017, we chose to bring the April 2019 employee contribution increase forward to July 2018. New starters have a grand total of 5% of their earning contributed to their pension each month, and with long service this can reach a maximum 15% combined contribution.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Base annual holiday entitlement now grows over time to a maximum of 7 extra days for long service. To help fill those days we offer funds for an \u2018adventure\u2019 (or downtime) as staff hit each milestone of service, from \u00a3100 after one year up \u00a31,000 after 10. In Base\u2019s 10th year, two of our team hit that same milestone, while three more made it to the halfway point!<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

And there\u2019s more!
<\/strong>Base\u2019s benefits now comprises 40% of our employee handbook:<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
