How brilliant family support helped me settle

Hi, I'm Olutomide. I work with the Project & Programme Services team at AtkinsRéalis. As a Risk Consultant, I'm part of a diverse team that delivers major infrastructure projects and national programs across the UK. We work in sectors like rail, highways, aviation, water and environment, manufacturing, defense, and energy.

How AtkinsRéalis helped me settle into the UK

I've recently moved to the UK to work with AtkinsRéalis. Relocating to a new country and balancing personal and professional responsibilities has been a challenging journey. Thankfully, AtkinsRéalis has been a dependable source of support throughout. The organization smoothed my transition with its supportive environment committed to employee well-being and inclusion.

Here are three ways AtkinsRéalis has shone brightly for me as the best workplace:

1. I felt secure and included from day one

Adjusting to a new cultural reality can be intimidating. AtkinsRéalis made this transition seamless by providing a safe and inclusive work environment. The atmosphere was welcoming right from my interviews, and I felt valued upon joining my team. I feel empowered to speak up and share my ideas with the confidence that my opinions will be heard and appreciated. At AtkinsRéalis, diversity is celebrated, and every voice matters. This supportive atmosphere has enabled me to thrive and contribute effectively to my team.

2. AtkinsRéalis has industry-leading family support

Managing the journey of parenthood with work can be challenging. However, AtkinsRéalis supported me immensely during my wife's pregnancy and the critical first few months after the birth of our son, Siji. The company's flexibility with work locations allowed me to work from home and be more present during this important period. I also benefitted from AtkinsRéalis' Partner Leave policy, which meant I received an extra two weeks of paid leave in addition to the statutory paternity leave. This support was crucial, enabling me to provide much-needed care for my wife and our new son when they most required it. Such policies reflect AtkinsRéalis' deep understanding and commitment to the wellbeing of its employees and their families.

3. The right support right from the start

One of the most significant supports was through the complexity of the move and its processes, ensuring everything was in order. The team at AtkinsRéalis did whatever it could to help alleviate the stress during a time of enormous change for my family and me. The company's readiness to "be there" under-scores its commitment to its employees' personal and professional lives, mak-ing us feel secure and cared for.

In all, AtkinsRéalis has shown me exceptional support, inclusivity, and understanding - I wouldn't hesitate to say it's a standout workplace!
