What People Are Saying About Simply Business

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Company materials describe “smart, flexible working” with employee choice in how they work and a structured hybrid model that blends remote focus with in‑person collaboration. This setup indicates location flexibility is intentionally built into day‑to‑day routines.
  • Time Off Access: U.S. benefits list 25 vacation days, 10 sick days, multiple paid holidays and floating days, plus paid volunteer time and tenure‑based sabbaticals, signaling meaningful time away is accessible. UK references to bereavement and life‑event leave further reinforce the ability to disconnect when needed.
  • Wellbeing Programs: The organization highlights consecutive Mind Gold Awards and offers resources such as an Employee Assistance Programme, the Unmind app, and mental‑health first aiders. These elements point to structured wellbeing support beyond standard benefits.
