Benefits that build companies - read about our latest thought leadership report.
In 2024, equitable benefits are more than just perks on paper.
Equity in the workplace involves creating an environment where everyone feels valued and able to reach their full potential, and benefits play a vital role in making sure this happens. Building an equitable workplace requires investing in employees, which in turn can lead to increased employee engagement and retention. Employees who feel like they belong to a company are?3.5 times more likely to contribute to their fullest potential.
That’s why, for this thought leadership report, we invited wellbeing experts?Bex Spiller, founder of?The Anti-Burnout Club, and?Jack Green, Double GB Olympian, World Champion Coach and Keynote Speaker along with employee experts and leaders in the housebuilding and property sector,?Claudia Desai, Chief People Officer at?LifeStory?and?Catrinel Stanila, HR Director, at?Orbit Homes.
With this report, we hope to invoke a better understanding of equitable benefits focusing on how they play a key part in positively increasing employee engagement and wellbeing. And with so many benefits to choose from we also invite you to view our comprehensive catalogue of the current popular A-Z UK benefits on offer. From drop-in puppy cuddle classes to free healthcare to sabbaticals,?check out our free guide?to see the latest trends in benefits and perks in the workplace.
We hope you find this report useful and enjoyable! If you haven’t already done so we also encourage you to view our past thought leadership?reports where we discuss topics such as unconscious bias and the invisible/invisible barriers to hiring. Alternatively, if you have feedback regarding the report or would like to discuss potential collaborations for future reports, please email?[email protected]. Enjoy!
Our 2024 salary guide is on its way! But, before we publish we want to hear from you.
Every year we release our highly anticipated salary guide benchmarking salaries for roles within the housebuilding and property sector. To make sure our salary guide continues to stay relevant and full of the latest insights from across the fast-moving property and housebuilding industry, we want this year’s guide to be a little different. This is why as well as compiling internal data from across sources, we also want to hear from you directly about your thoughts on benefits, moving jobs, and of course, salaries.
So, to help us provide more data that goes beyond the bottom line, we'd love to hear from you regarding benefits, moving jobs, and of course salaries.

meet Toby - a day in the life, recruiter diaries
What is a typical day for a recruiter? In this special feature blog, we catch up with one of our expert recruitment consultants, Toby Loft, to find out what it’s like to be a recruiter at the UK’s leading property recruitment consultancy.
Time to wake up…
My alarm wakes me up every morning at 06:30 am, well I say every morning but weekdays only, because who’s getting up that early on the weekend? From that time, it’s a go. No two days are the same in recruitment, so I like to stick to a routine where I can – if it’s a working from home day (thanks to tdm’s hybrid working options), I’ll walk or cycle to the gym first thing, and get my workout done for the day. I’m back home at 08:00 am, having porridge, a protein shake, and a cup of tea, and I’m not lying for the sake of this interview, that really is my breakfast.
I’m responsible for…
I’m a recruitment consultant working as part of the commercial team and specialising in Quantity Surveying, Buying, and Estimating roles. I work predominantly in roles in the North of the UK, from Northamptonshire up to Scotland.
I got into recruitment…
I initially started my recruitment career in 2017 within an estate agency, where I quickly worked my way up to senior-level roles. Then, I joined tdm in July 2022, and I was able to transfer my specialist property knowledge into an exciting new market.
Before my first interview at tdm, I’d done my due diligence and researched the company and certain things stood out to me, for example, I got the impression that they had a friendly, close-knit team from their LinkedIn social posts, and this is something that I was looking for in my next role. In other roles, I experienced strong competition between colleagues, and while a little bit of competition is healthy, I was shown a different side that was not. At tdm, that’s not the case, we’re encouraged to work as a team and support each other, which is really important to me.
My typical day…
As I said, each day presents itself with new challenges. However, each morning I’ll have a team meeting with the north development team to share goals for the day, discuss how to achieve those goals, and generally chat about queries – our team is small but focused, and we really enjoy spurring each other on each day. Then, my responsibilities differ from headhunting candidates for a new vacancy, calling candidates to get to know them better, getting out emails and messages, to planning content on LinkedIn for the week. In the evening, I’ll set aside time to make calls because as is the nature of recruitment, it’s easier to catch people on their mobiles after working hours – but as we always say, you get out what you put in.
I love recruitment because…
Working in recruitment is extremely rewarding – at the end of the day, work is a big part of people’s lives and I’m contributing to the positive change in my candidates’ lives through opening new doors as well as making life easier for my clients. And I love talking to people, I work on roles in a large part of the UK, so I encounter different personalities all the time.
After work…
I love to unwind in the evening by cooking dinner for me and my partner, it really takes my mind elsewhere. As well as watching TV or playing football – I’m a huge spurs fan.
