What is the working Experience like at Smart WFM ? - Well, our values explain it in three, simple, but powerful words:

Wellbeing | Fun | Meaning

At Smart WFM, we focus on providing the best possible support to our consultants. As a mature-thinking company, we believe that people are the most important aspect of our business. Our objective is not to create a cookie-cutter culture where everyone acts and thinks the same way, but rather to allow each individual to flourish, and express themselves in their own unique fashion, all while experiencing a great sense of belonging.

We want each of our consultants to achieve success in whatever form it takes—from running a marathon to configuring a SaaS system or delighting a customer with great Project management service. While other companies may focus on Employee Assistance Programs for burnout support or massage sessions for stress relief, for us we are more concerned with not allowing our teams to land in those situations in the first place. We constantly review what we do and how we do it, to ensure positive and memorable employee experiences - experiences that are empowering and which allow you to maximise your value.

We have a statement at Smart WFM known as the 'Dr. Seuss Policy'. It's built around one of Dr. Seuss's famous sayings " Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." - In essence, we work with you to personalise the way you work at Smart WFM. 

Smart WFM has a Mature level of thinking, Trust, Communication, and Cooperation. We value diversity because it brings new ideas and perspectives to our work. We allow everyone to simply be who they are so that their work is fulfilling. That's how we create an enjoyable work environment with true meaning.
