Saffery Trust has celebrated 10 years as a STEP Platinum Employer Partner, following the announcement of its 2025 reaccreditation.
As the highest possible accreditation, platinum status employers meet robust standards in demonstrating a commitment to excellence and the learning and development of their team members.
Saffery Trust Associate Director of People & Culture, Sharon Coburn, said: “Saffery Trust and its team members have been repeatedly recognised within industry for our commitment to client service. For the People & Culture Team, we consider the firm’s employees as our clients, and we strive to deliver the same high standards of excellence. Our continued recognition as a Platinum Employer Partner is highly rewarding and stands as a testament to the time and resources we invest in our people.”
Shortlisted as Employer of the Year in the 2024 STEP Private Client Awards, Saffery Trust is recognised as a top tier employer, with high rates of retention and long service across the firm’s five international offices.
With a focus on financial, mental, social, and physical wellbeing as well as professional development, Saffery Trust has launched several people-focused initiatives aligned with its Employee Value Proposition.
These include a progressive flexible working policy without the restriction of core office hours, a partnership with Guernsey Mind to promote good mental health, training 10 team members as Mental Health First Aid Champions, regular sports and social activities, an annual ‘away day’ for each office, purchasing eBikes for staff use, and hosting firmwide initiatives including book swaps and projects to minimise waste.
Sharon added: “At Saffery Trust we remain committed to supporting opportunity and enabling success for our clients and team members alike. We recognise that ‘success’ means something different to all our staff and continue to foster an environment where our people can find healthy work-life balances and create their own career paths. Our platinum status reflects these efforts, and I look forward to our teams continuing to grow and succeed.”
