Be Free to Love Work: Thrive in a Safe and Supportive Space

Date: 23/01/25

At iON Consultants, we want everyone to
be free to love work.

In practice, this means creating an environment where our people and customers feel confident and competent in their abilities and supported in their roles so that they can truly enjoy what they do. Work is a significant part of life, and it should be purposeful and fulfilling. Our mission is to champion safe, sustainable spaces where every action we take contributes to meaningful outcomes - for individuals, communities and the planet. 

Be free to love work isn’t just a tagline; it’s fundamental to the way we approach our work, support our customers and uplift our colleagues. Our team is made up of talented individuals who thrive in an environment built on trust and collaboration. We believe in putting people first, both within our team and in the communities we serve. We know what good looks like and have cultivated a workplace where our people have the autonomy to take positive action. At iON, you'll find a culture that celebrates innovation and inspires change.  

In a world of complex health and safety law, we act as trusted advisors, guiding our customers through their responsibilities while raising standards of occupational and environmental well-being. Our work requires us to stay ahead of evolving industry trends and work closely with regulators. That’s why we invest heavily in professional development – giving our consultants time, tools and training to continually grow in a way that aligns with our mutual values. 

"iON Consultants' distinctive culture is evident from day one. The working environment is incredibly supportive, not least because the team works at a very human level from the top down. Taking the leap to join a new company can be fraught with uncertainty, but iON delivered a comprehensive onboarding process that was exceptionally easy and set me up for success. From my first day, I felt like a valued member of the team. The team's friendliness, encouragement and support helped me navigate those early days; my peers instantly placed their trust in me to deliver the quality work that defines iON.  

Since then, I've grown both professionally and personally, with iON championing my development every step of the way. The company sponsored a qualification that enabled me to step into my clients' shoes, allowing me to not only see challenges from their perspective but also devise tailored strategies to strengthen their operations. As a result, I was able to provide them with the necessary insight to proceed with clarity and confidence. I'm now working towards the NEBOSH General Certificate, a qualification that will allow me to excel in my current role but also contribute to iON's wider impactful work. 

Due to iON's diverse client base, my work is incredibly varied. My role is dynamic, challenging and engaging, but never overwhelming simply because we are encouraged to maintain a balance between our professional work and personal well-being. Finding an employer that genuinely champions this approach is rare, and it sets iON apart. This is a place where I can fully embrace what I enjoy doing - creating safe spaces for people and the environment - while helping my clients feel competent and secure in their roles. I'm proud to be part of a culture where we are free to love work.”
