Awarded for Happiness

The vast majority of our adult lives are spent at work, so it makes sense to create a workplace we can all enjoy being in. We give employees a say in which client projects we take on, so that they continue to feel that their opinion is important and are inspired by the work. We feel this approach is hugely important to maintain employee happiness and make Brightec an outstanding place to work. It’s a constant balancing act but a happy team, and having respect for everybody’s lives, ultimately makes us more productive and profitable.
