“Our clients trust us to deliver better ways of doing things because of our different ways of doing things.” This is what business consultancy Clarasys sees as the key to its success.

The London-based company, more than 160 employees strong, is expert in business change, technology and agile delivery. Its team helps businesses and government services work more efficiently to serve their customers better.

As you’d expect from a consultancy focused on improving workplaces, its own is very much in the spotlight. “People work best in an environment where they’re trusted and supported to be brilliant”, says the company.

Clarasys has turned consultancy on its head, moving away from the well-trodden model of senior people winning work that everyone else then delivers. It wants everyone to be part of its team, feeling the value, trust and support that results from collaboration.

Staff have the freedom to take as many days off as they want to ensure they are well-rested all year round.

The company believes in open communication, using the social network ‘Chatter’ to communicate rather than closed emails.

And its in-house recruitment team is led by somebody who’s worked for the company since the start, meaning that new recruits are an excellent fit for the business, sharing its values.
