Previse – 2019 Scottish Top Employers
At Previse the winning formula for a great working culture is rooted in diversity. They believe that employing people from many different walks of lives enriches the business and supports continued growth and success.
The beauty of being a smaller employer means that the team can design a schedule that works for them, meaning they don’t miss out on important things at home. They have unlimited holidays and have the freedom to work from any location due to the technological capabilities of the business. Basically, everything is up for discussion, and if they can find a way to make it work. They will. Simple.
Previse is also the first employer in Scotland to partner with Auticon, a social enterprise which specialises in finding employment for people with autism. They have created an environment where people with certain needs and characteristics feel comfortable and can flourish. The analytical nature of the services provided by Previse, presents an opportunity for some people with autism to use their unique skills, and this has enriched the team beyond even the highest expectations.
