Providing stability, security and supporting wellbeing of our people is fundamental to us at Disklabs. Our benefits are designed to support our staff both in the workplace and at home, through the various stages of life, their loved ones and the causes that are important to them.
Some of our benefits include:
Time & flexibility
Health & Wellbeing
Finances
Supporting our environment and communities
To maintain a highly productive, motivated and happy workplace, we place a real focus on a work-life balance. We encourage people to take holiday and have an early finish every Friday. Even the most committed employee needs time away from their job, time to relax, spend quality time with loved ones and time to clear themselves away from the pressures of the job.
Flexible Working
We are proud of our flexible working options that allow staff improve their work-life balance and reduce the cost, time and impact of commuting. Staff enjoy taking advantage of our flexible working patterns and can choose to work compressed days, early/late starts or early/late ends of the day. We understand that life events don’t always go to plan, so our supportive culture means that we can work with our staff to offer the flexibility they need work through these times.
Read the unique journey and insights of staff working at Disklabs
I always had an interest in computers and working in public services, helping people & doing the right thing. I worked with the police for a few years and then joined Disklabs because of their reputation. Since I started, I’ve been promoted to lab manager focusing on the technical elements of our solutions. Some of my job involves working with our clients on-site and the work we do is diverse and interesting. I’m most proud of the work we did for the ICO on the Cambridge Analytica case.
Disklabs have bent over backwards to help me with my work life balance. I have the flexibility and support I need with my family as I work compressed hours and have an early finish on Tuesdays to collect my daughter from nursery. I feel I can always ask for support if I need it and I am trusted to get the work done and manage my time. The office and team environment make it a nice place to work.
I started at Disklabs 19 years ago and since then, I have grown and developed hugely over that time. My skills and role have grown as Disklabs has evolved and I’m now the data recovery manager. I really enjoy working with other departments as my work covers so many areas of the business’s expertise. I find pride in solving problems of our clients and creating the right technical solutions for them. Working with a strong team of experts means the satisfaction of a job well done is shared between the different departments, which I like.
The shorter working week means I can start the weekend with my family early. If I have a family emergency, the company will support me with any time I need even at short notice.
I joined Disklabs back in 2005 and Disklabs seemed the right company as I wanted to pursue my career in accounting. My role now is Office Manager. It is diverse and each day is different. This makes the job very rewarding with Disklabs and being an ever-growing company, it means that my role gives insight into all aspects of the business, working across the different services. This is one of the reasons why Disklabs is a great place to work.
My journey at Disklabs has been full of recognition and support as different obstacles have headed my way that I have personally overcome. Both management and colleagues have always supported. The team at Disklabs are fantastic and very approachable, having such a friendly team certainly makes coming to work each day enjoyable.
Having being part of the growth and journey of Disklabs over the last 18 years has certainly enabled me to help develop different areas of the business and this is something to be proud of.
Disklabs have been supportive in making charitable contributions towards different fundraising events I have been involved with over the years and this is greatly appreciated.
I have just celebrated my 20 years at Disklabs! My work is rewarding and the job I do is technical and challenging, though the more difficult it is, the more I enjoy it. It’s exciting as I get the chance to work with new companies and develop new solutions all the time. I learn from the others in the team and the projects we work on. I get the space and time to set my own work and as the management are also technically minded, they understand what is needed to get the job done. The work that I do is varied and I have travelled across the world to work on projects, and I have developed a reputation as an expert witness in the UK.
To me, Disklabs has always been secure as it always looks ahead. I enjoy the generous holiday time off and the flexibility as it suits life outside of work and my time with the family.
