An important part of my decision to move to Shorts in 2016 was that they seemed to be a progressive firm that respected, trusted, and valued its employees, and this has proved to be my experience.
They tailored the role that I was to move into to my strengths, and as a result, I am less stressed and able to be more productive and feel more fulfilled in my role.
There is a great, friendly atmosphere across the firm, and flexibility in working arrangements to accommodate family and household commitments, both of which are modelled and encouraged by the partners.
I particularly appreciate the level of our IT capability and the responsiveness of the IT team. Even pre-Covid we had the capability to work from home with full network access, and I have been encouraged to make use of that whether to have somewhere away from distractions to keep my head down and focus, to be able to get to a parents’ evening or to be present at home for tradesmen or important deliveries.
Having previously worked for a number of years each at two different firms, the atmosphere and attitude at Shorts are much more relaxed yet still professional.
