Health & Well-being ❤️

The health and well-being of our employees is at the forefront of our minds. We have focused on our H&WB initiative this year and encourage the following; Long lunch: Take a 90-minute lunch once a week to go to the gym or see friends etc. Utilising our Employee Assitance Programme (EAP) where employees have access to professional advise for all sorts of work and personal related issues including access to crisis Councillors. Sabbaticals: After 5 years of service benefit from an additional month of paid annual leave. Pursue a dream trip, take up a hobby, recharge your batteries. We offer a 3-month sabbatical after 8 years. Take a break: Benefit from a Duvet Day one day per year to call in on the day. Get a change of scenery: Even if just for a short time, a walk round block to the park if you’re feeling stressed. River has partnered with Health Assured who offer employees confidential counselling and advice on a wide range of both work and personal issues.

LOCATION! 🏠

Our office is centrally located in Covent Garden, just two minutes’ walk from Covent Garden tube station and in the middle of Long Acre road. Perfectly located, close to most of our clients. An added bonus of our office location is all of the bars and restaurants in the surrounding area. Not to mention the convenience of all the nearby shops for some lunch break shopping.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We encourage our employees to contribute to our communities and are passionate about supporting a number of charities through numerous internal events. This year we’re proud to be supporting Macmillan.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ✈️

Being an Executive Search firm based in London with such a wide global reach with our clients, international travel becomes an integral part of our business. The team here at River have recently travelled to Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and France with further trips to Europe, the US and Asia planned in the coming months.

A LITTLE HISTORY...📜

River started in a box room in a leased office which had no windows. Following our first successful placement, we upgraded to a room with windows and a little more space. River has been slowly upgrading the office space year on year until 2015 when we finally moved into our own office in central Covent Garden which can facilitate our growth plans until 2020...

SYSTEMS & IT 💻

We are continuously investing in our IT software and hardware to improve them. We regularly upgrade our computers, replacing the older computers first, one by one. All our software licenses are updated monthly to the newest versions available, along with updates on our database and database email integration system. Our current environment utilises the very latest enterprise grade CRM systems and databases making them accessible and editable from anywhere on the planet with an internet connection. We have created a cloud set up for our employees where it’s possible for consultants to work remotely, particularly during international travel as we have consultants working in different time zones so if it suits for them to do early morning calls at home and come in when appropriate, they can do.

CULTURE EATS STRATEGY FOR BREAKFAST

As a small company we want to create a culture of ownership, continuous development, teamwork, fun and integrity where people want to stay longer term and build their career with us. We think one of the main reasons people stay with a company is down to its culture. Culture eats strategy for breakfast as someone once said! We keep things sociable by frequently going out as a company for lunch for each other’s birthday (or any celebration we can get away with), having beers in the office on a Friday, ordering in pizza on ‘BD days’, afternoons out of the office doing activities such as crazy golf, darts, bowling, rounders in the park, fun runs and charity bike races. That's without mentioning the quarterly incentives we run for lunches at Michelin starred restaurants, days out at the horse racing and trips oversees.
