🌱 Reading Climate Festival 2026 starts soon! 🌍

As a business proudly based just outside Reading, we've got involved with this great inititiative for the last couple of years. Most of our team live in Reading or the surrounding area so are passionate about making Reading a great place to live and work.

As an SME business we like to do our bit to help the planet, so whether it’s reducing plastic, supporting community initiatives or simply rethinking how we work and travel, we are trying...

👏 Hats off to the team at ReadingCAN for bringing such important energy to the town. We’re excited to get involved and learn more.

🌞Making the most of the Bank Holiday sunshine...🌞

Bank holidays are a rare treat (ok so we know there was one a few weeks ago as well but go with it😉) , a chance to relax, recharge, and spend time in ways we don’t always get to during the working week.

If you’re wondering how to make the most of the bank holiday, here are a few ideas to inspire you:

🥾 Get outside - whether it’s a local walk, a hike in the countryside, or a picnic in the park, fresh air works wonders.

📚 Catch up on reading - that book you’ve been meaning to start? Today might just be the day.

🍳 Organise a relaxed brunch - a low-key way to see friends or family without the stress of a formal gathering.

🎨 Do something creative - painting, DIY, photography, or baking, wherever your talents lie.

🧘 Slow down - have a lie-in, watch a film, have a cup of tea in peace. Sometimes doing nothing is doing exactly what you need.

Or if you're spending the day thinking about your next career move, Wade Macdonald is here to help. We’re working with a wide range of great employers across Finance and HR, and we’d love to support your next step. Have a look at a selection of our live jobs on the website 👇

🧠We listened in on a great webinar this week hosted by Everway on creating a more neuro-inclusive workplace.

There was a framework shared by Disability:IN which particularly stood out as it simplified what we can do as employers to really create a truly neuro-inclusive workplace - and it showed it's not that complicated!

But the biggest takeaway that struck a chord was the idea of designing workplaces, tools and support structures for everyone, not just neuro-diverse employees.

So rather than waiting for individuals to disclose conditions or request adjustments, why aren't we simply asking: “How do we create systems, processes and environments that help all employees perform at their best?”

It could be anything from following up meetings with written summaries, clearer communication overall, flexible working, AI-assisted tools, quieter spaces, or more supportive management styles. Surely these adjustments benefit most people, not just a singled out group. Research is telling us they often improve productivity, wellbeing, engagement and retention across the wider workforce too, so it's a no brainer right?

Whilst not being experts in Neurodiversity like Everway, you know we love producing a report here at Wade Mac HQ 😉, and we recently explored many of these themes in our latest masterpiece Neurodiversity in the Workplace report, with focus on what is happening on the ground locally in the Thames Valley, as well as practical tips.

You can read the report here:👉 https://www.wademacdonald.com/userfiles/WadeMacDonald/WebContent/Neurodiversity%20Beyond%20the%20Hire%202026.pdf?created=26-03-11-16-53-56

🌍🐝 World Bee Day

A small reminder that sometimes the biggest impact comes from the smallest contributors.

Bees play a vital role in sustaining ecosystems, and it’s good to reflect on how the actions we take today shape the future we’re building. Very philosophical for first thing on a Wednesday eh!

At Wade Macdonald, we may be small, but we do what we can to help make sustainable choices. And we're now based on a business park that shares the same values, and who are celebrating World Bee Day by giving out free Bee Bombs. Big shout out to Frasers Property who run the Winnersh Triangle Park in your Pocket app for promoting lots of great environmental ideas around the place. We love it 💖

In an effort to get back to the point and what we know best, (recruitment if you're wondering 😉)more and more candidates are looking beyond salary and benefits, seeking organisations that align with their values and are genuinely committed to making a difference.

So join us in celebrating the humble bee on whom it is often said our survival depends...

📷Our next website banner will be going back to this little fella in a couple of weeks so keep an eye out 🐝
