Eight months on, the trial closed with a 25% reduction in sick leave, a 40% improvement in retention, and a 60% increase in job applications. Unlimited annual leave is being discontinued in 2025 — staff reported confusion about entitlements.
“uncertainty has actually led to increased anxiety around taking leave — a fixed allowance gives people the clarity they need.”— Kate Ellen, head of HR
From five years at Aspire Global managing compliance across nine jurisdictions, Fiona will oversee stech's framework — built on Resistant AI, SEON, Experian, and LexisNexis.
Nearly nine years at Betway managing high-value retention. Simon will own Spacecasino.com — stech's primary brand — as the marketing infrastructure expands ahead of new market launches.
Workplace environment quality directly affects mental health. Our benefits — four-day weeks, remote-first work, wellness allowances — have produced measurable improvements without productivity losses.
Trial begins April 1. Full pay, full output expectations, one fewer day on a keyboard.
“this is about treating employees like adults — judging them on their performance, not their hours.”— Edward Mackrill, CEO
