Benefits

Aligned with Deacons' core values, we have in place a number of rewards and benefits to foster our employees’ engagement in the success of the Firm. Our employees commitment is valued, and is recognised through these benefits and rewards that we offer as part of our working environment. Just some of the rewards and benefits of working with Deacons are below

Awards for excellence

Awards for excellence are regularly presented to teams and/or individuals to recognise exceptional performance for immediate or short-term tasks. Awards range from gift vouchers, additional leave, team dinners to theatre or sporting tickets.

Bonus and incentive schemes

The purpose of bonus and incentive schemes is threefold: to reward excellent performance; to align teams and individual areas of effort with the Firm's objectives; and to improve individual, team and ultimately overall performance.

Flexible working arrangements

The firm recognises the growing demands on partners and staff while at work, and the increasing challenge of finding new and better ways to serve our clients and meet business objectives. We also understand the need for a balance between work and personal life and have guidelines for flexible work arrangements. By working together in an effective, efficient and responsive way, we can still deliver appropriate client and business services and our employees can meet personal commitments and goals in their private life.

Healthy living

We encourage our employees to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle and provide benefits that range from fresh fruit delivered daily to sporting and fitness opportunities such as corporate netball to subsidised benefits such as massage and kickboxing.

Social activities

Working at Deacons is not just about being a lawyer, or providing support services to keep the place running - there is a huge social community to which you are connected. In each office there are numerous social functions conducted each year that are coordinated by Deacons’ social committee.

It is up to you how actively you become involved in the day-to-day social and sporting interaction, however at Deacons we aim to reward your commitment and performance.
