Culture can be measured by the way your team feel before going to bed on Sunday, knowing they’ve got work in the morning.

Finding and fostering great talent is at the heart of everything that we do as a business, and we wouldn’t be here without it. Part of the reason I set up Mesh was so I could create the company I would have liked to work for in my earlier career, so it’s been a central focus for me since the day I took on my first hire, Rebecca, back in 2018 (who’s still here by the way!)

Everyone has their own ideas about why culture matters. For me, a positive culture acts like catalyst, amplifying the abilities of individual team members. If you feel happy at work and feel like you can be yourself, you’re far more likely to explore beyond your comfort zone, ask questions, be proactive, and accelerate your learning. If you like your job and your company, you’ll also be motivated to go that extra. mile, knowing you’ll be appreciated and rewarded in turn.

But that’s enough from me, have a read of these webpages we put together to give potential candidates a realistic insight into what it’s like to work at Mesh, and how we’ve built a culture we’re proud of.

A DELICATE ECOSYSTEM

Maintaining a positive culture...

Culture is a living, breathing thing, just like the people who make it what it is. Every new team member we hire is a key part of our ecosystem, helping to contribute something awesome. That’s why it’s so important to get the right people for the job, not just based on their skills or experience, but their attitude and how they behave. Creating a good working culture takes time and careful decision making. It’s taken a while to get to where we are today and there’s been some bumps along the way, but that makes us all the more proud of what we’ve achieved.

1. CURIOSITY:

At Mesh, we’re a team of innovators looking to leave something better in our wake. That requires curiosity. Curiosity to know if there’s something other than the status quo, curiosity to understand alternative perspectives to your own, curiosity to make connects that others would miss, curiosity to fill the gaps in your knowledge (and the humility to know there are gaps!).

OUR PROMISE:

We will give you every opportunity to let your curiosity flourish, whether that’s through weekly time for learning, an open floor for discussion, or managerial encouragement for testing out new ideas and always asking ‘why’.

2. SELFLESSNESS:

When you’re at work, you’re part of the team, that means you do what’s best for Mesh. If that means taking 10 minutes out of your day to help a colleague out, sharing your ideas about how to improve a process or covering for a team member who is off sick. We work in collaboration, not isolation.

OUR PROMISE:

If there’s a problem, you won’t need to face it alone – you’ll have colleagues to talk it through with, team leaders to escalate it to, and leadership who will support you.

3. POSITIVITY:

No one is happy all the time, and we would never expect it from our team. But what we do want is a proactive, solutions-focused mindset that spots gaps or flaws and does something about it. Recognising that tomorrow is a new day and that some of the most positive developments comes from negative situations.

OUR PROMISE:

Your contributions will be valued and considered, your managers will act selflessly with their time and support, Mesh’s success will be attributed to the whole team and everyone will be rewarded accordingly.

A WORD OF FAILURE:

Messing up is part of life, and no matter how hard we try everything will make a mistake at work at some point. We want you to feel secure enough to try new things, and sometimes fail at them. What matters is what happens afterwards.

OUR RULES FOR FAILING SUCCESSFULLY:

It’s all very well talking about culture in theory, but what does that mean for Mesh as a workplace? Well, here are some of the reasons we think Mesh is a great place to work:

WHY DO THE AWARDS MATTER?
