The PHA Group

At PHA, people are not a priority on paper. They are the business. Over the past two years, we’ve built a workplace where wellbeing, flexibility, inclusion, and career progression are intentionally designed, rigorously measured, and genuinely lived.

We embed wellbeing into everyday working life through universal flexibility - a hybrid model that prioritises autonomy, proactive workload management, and a mental health ecosystem spanning 24/7 counselling, GP access, Wellness Hour and Day, specialist paid leave, and trained managers. These commitments deliver measurable impact: high benefit engagement, low sickness absence, and 100% retention after mental-health-related leave.

Our parental and flexible policies work in practice, not theory. With 26 weeks’ full-pay maternity and adoption leave, phased returns, and continued promotion eligibility, we achieve a 100% parental return rate and strong post-return progression; proof that careers thrive at PHA.

Career development is deliberate and visible. Through the PHA Academy, Aspire mentoring, clear promotion pathways, and a £25k annual training investment, two-thirds of eligible employees were promoted last year. Our early-career pipeline is equally robust: 25% of our workforce began as interns through PHA Accelerate.

Fair pay, meaningful rewards, sabbaticals, ethical opt-out, and a values-led CSR framework complete our holistic people proposition. With 50% female leadership, 25% ethnic minority representation, high offer acceptance, and long average tenure, PHA proves that a people-first strategy isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s our competitive advantage.
