Adventure
ByBox is an adventure. A group of people with a zealous passion
to revolutionise the way we send and receive parcels. An ordinary
problem being solved by extraordinary people.
Like all proper adventures, ByBox must be challenging,
rewarding, worthwhile and sustainable. This can only be achieved if
the people behind the revolution truly believe it is a great place
to be. On a practical level this has to be true. ByBox is the
fastest growing technology company in the UK (as measured by
Deloitte). If you are growing this quickly you must
have low attrition, otherwise you could not keep up with the
constant recruitment.
So what makes ByBox a great place? It can't be the plush offices
- we don't believe in tinsel-economics. It can't be the company
fitness centre - we don't have one of those either. In truth, the
reasons are somewhat unconventional. It is because ByBox gives
everybody the chance to prove to themselves how good they really
could be. It helps them to find and unlock the unique energy that
is in all of us but that so many other companies work so hard to
stamp-out.
At ByBox, it doesn't matter a jot where you came from, how old
you are, how you were educated or what you do in your spare time.
All that matters is that you have the true desire to be part of
something memorable.
Of course, it is also about being fair and rewarding people
accordingly. People love being part of their own adventure, but we
also like to be paid fairly to recognise the effort involved and
the success that has been created. As Dizzy Gillespie said, "I'm
fed-up with going down in history - I want to eat".
ByBox' bonus system reflects the contribution made by
individuals as well as the overall progress of the company.
Over-achievers are not taken for granted.
In short, ByBox is a great place to be because of the spirit of
adventure created and sustained by the people within it. Money and
benefits motivate to a certain extent, but there is nothing more
motivating than shared success.
