How we work

How we work

  • Flat Hierarchy: We pride ourselves on our flat structure, which ensures we offer all our people lots of exposure to senior stakeholders across the business. Our Practice Leader to consultant ratio of 1:10, as well as our model of having our Practice Leaders chargeable and on client site, means our consultants get the opportunity to learn and work alongside our Managers on a daily basis.
  • Internal Company Development: At EGI we feel it’s important for our people to take ownership in the development of the business. We feel passionate about maintaining an environment where people feel empowered to have a voice. Freedom of thought is not only encouraged, but valued and respected. We encourage our people to help drive the development and improvement of our policies and procedures.
  • 3-4-5 Policy: We recognise the nature of consulting often means travelling to client site, and spending time away from home. As a result of this, we have implemented a 3-4-5 working out of town model (3 days away from home, where necessary, 4 days on client site and 5 days chargeable) to ensure that we protect our consultants’ time at home.
Social and belonging

Social and belonging

We are proud of the work we do, and wouldn’t be successful without our awesome team of dedicated people.

  • Diversity & Inclusion: We are passionate about being an inclusive and diverse business, where everyone feels a true sense of belonging. We promote Gender and Ethnic Diversity as an important component of the company. 
  • Internal networks: Our internal networks play an important role in ensuring everyone has an opportunity to feel involved in the business. We encourage all of our people to join networks they are passionate about, and contribute to their evolvement. The Culture Club is just one example, it is made up of a group of individuals across EGI who are passionate about acting as a voice for our business, to help ensure that we don’t stray away from our people-first approach
  • Company Meetings: We have frequent company meetings to celebrate our successes, ensure that everyone is kept up to date and is aware of the work we’re doing, supporting our belief in providing full transparency to everyone at EGI. It’s also a great opportunity for old and new colleagues to get together and catch up

  • We recognise individuals’ progress at different times. As such, we have quarterly promotion reviews enabling our people to progress when the time is right, rather than enforcing a once yearly approach. We do not have any quotas for promotions, therefore our promotion process is based purely on individual performance and readiness
  • We pride ourselves on being a true meritocracy. We feel we’ve created a great environment for you to be your very best. We actively encourage our people to develop and feel inspired to help us shape EGI moving forward
