Breathe scoops two major business awards in one week

Local HR software provider Breathe has won two prestigious awards which recognise its achievements as an employer, demonstrating a strong commitment to developing a positive company culture and putting its people first.

Breathe won the Best Tech Place to Work category of the National Technology Awards and this was closely followed by winning a Lotus Award for Culture. The Lotus Awards celebrates the cultural development efforts of businesses in the UK and across the globe and were entered by over 350 companies.

Jonathan Richards, CEO of Breathe, comments: “We are delighted to have received these two prestigious awards which recognise our achievements as a team. We pride ourselves on being a company built around strong cultural values, and actively promote the benefits of investing in workplace cultural development. This is a very proud moment for us, our partners and customers.”

“We work hard to develop our own culture and actively encourage other businesses to do the same by signing our Culture Pledge. The Pledge helps businesses commit to investing in their company culture which benefits their people and propels the business forward. To date, over 300 businesses have signed the pledge,” he added.

In March last year, Breathe relocated to new offices to support its significant growth. The firm develops software for small to medium-sized organisations and HR consultants. Its software is used by more than 6,000 organisations to manage over 200,000 employees – including Huel, AgeUK and Big Issue.

The company also works with a network of 500 local and national partners, most of whom are independent HR consultancies.
Breathe recently published its 2019 Sick Report which examines employer and employee attitudes to ill-health related absences in the workplace. In particular, the report focuses on attitudes towards mental health related absences. The report can be downloaded at https://www.breathehr.com/sick-report-2019
