SHIFT Advisory makes a point of delivering sweet treats to lawyers for a job well done
At SHIFT Advisory, completing a contract doesn’t just mean a job well done – it means cake and a job well done.
In order to stay connected to a workforce that largely operates remotely, the firm seeks to facilitate a collegial environment through the little things, such as sending cakes to lawyers and clients after a contract.
The firm also checks in with both lawyers and clients on a regular basis to ask for feedback and bolster engagement.
“We’re always looking at ways to ensure everyone feels included and part of the fabric. Being thoughtful is important to us, and we actively prioritise the wellbeing of our lawyers through a range of initiatives”, COO Tamsin Ledger said.
In addition to sweet treats, SHIFT has implemented a secondment model that gives lawyers a pathway to come back to the legal profession, as well as allowing them to schedule a workload that balances their work and personal lives.
“What we can deliver for our lawyers is autonomy, giving them the ability to work in a way that fits with their families, interests and the rest of their lives,” Ledger explained.
