To improve people's working lives.
Dayshape offers AI-powered resource management software developed to help professional services firms meet profit and growth targets, and client service standards, and offer more rewarding careers for employees. Its features include automated resource scheduling, approval workflows and engagement performance alerts, capacity planning tools, and skills tracking.
Dayshape has 30,000+ global users across 20 countries, including two of the Big Four professional services firms. This is a big coup: competitors are plentiful in this space, especially now that complex hybrid workforces have increased the market appetite for tools to help manage them. As a purpose-built and dedicated solution, Dayshape’s focus on automation, people-first planning, and real-time project financials, gives it an edge against legacy resource management tools.
Dayshape is using its remarkably fast growth (it’s regularly been the fastest-growing Scottish tech company of the year) to continue its global expansion into the US, where the professional services industry includes well over a million different firms.

Dayshape has a £1000 minimum to spend on learning and they really encourage everyone to use that. I have done leadership courses, tech courses, attended conferences etc. There is also opportunities to do secondments if you are looking to possibly make a lateral move

Dayshape really encourages open and honest communication with our commitment to over communicate and to search out opinions of everyone, not just the person who talks the loudest.

Dayshape has some of the nicest people I have ever worked with, my team is very close knit and even with remote working we find ways to stay connected. When I experienced a great loss the people at Dayshape couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

There is a real sense of pride in overcommunication as a value and this leads to a tremendous amount of transparency. I feel like I can be open in honest with all colleagues whether that be talking "up" or "down" within the org chart. Weekly all hands meetings provide a great forum to hear about what is happening and a place where questions to senior leaders can be asked.

Loads of initiatives to support mental and physical wellbeing. I think the approach to flexible working and the understanding people have a life and commitments outside of work make Dayshape an incredible employer.

It's the people that make Dayshape a really enjoyable place to work. Everyone is friendly, bright, and focused on delivering for our customers. Our leadership team works hard to ensure there is focus on building that team ethos across the organisation, for example, through our weekly all hands and monthly socials. It really is a great place to work!

Transparency is one of our Dayshape values, and I haven't worked in a more transparent organisation. For example, we have quarterly engagement surveys and all the survey results are shared with everyone in the company. Personally, any question I have raised have been welcomed and full responses given.

Our values are really important in Dayshape. We use them in everything from our recruitment processes, to our onboarding activities, from our daily appreciation of our colleagues, to the weekly all hands events. They aren't just a poster on the wall, we really are a Values led organisation.

There is a really strict adhesion to our values here at Dayshape, and a proper commitment from the company to making sure this is retained as we grow. I think because people are so integral to our product, we can't forget about why we are building our software. The fact everyone is nice doesn't mean that we are all the same though - we have a great variety of different viewpoints and backgrounds.

I feel like I've developed a lot since moving to Dayshape, simply because the bar is set so high for anyone coming into the company - there is no room to let the side down, and this makes me push myself and apply myself to the role at hand.

Employees wellbeing is treated as a priority, our company vision is to improve people's working lives, and we like to apply that to ourselves. A good work life balance is strongly encouraged and makes employees much happier, there are monthly company funded socials and a 'beer fridge' that is stocked for Friday afternoons on top of managers having a morale budget for their teams.

I am finding the growth aspect so exciting! We are winning awards, being recognised, growing the business and still maintaining an awesome culture. I feel like I'm in an orange Dayshape bubble and I love it. Our customers love working with us and there's so many opportunities to grow with the company.

We get a minimum £1000 budget per year to spend on training, since joining Dayshape 2 years ago I got my ISTQB Software Testing certificate, Agile PM Practitioner, Prince Practitioner, on top of access to just order any good books I want to read for career development, and I'm looking at some personal coaching next. I love it that i have the freedom to organise what training I want, and in addition I have the role that is giving me the opportunity to grow and learn as I go.

There are many forums where I can voice my opinion - retrospectives, one to ones, anonymous team wide surveys, team wide meetings. When I do voice an opinion on something, I am listened to and actionable steps are made if there is something to do.

The team at Dayshape are really supportive, they genuinely care about my career progression and my wellbeing. On top of that, everyone is falling over themselves to help me out - and that in turn inspires me to help build the culture in my own team. The company culture is really outstanding - their values are genuine and lived out.

The values are descriptive about what life at Dayshape is really like. They're an active part of everyday life and they're used to celebrate each other and also challenge each other! Values emojis are probably among our most used emojis on Slack :)

I'm regularly asked for my opinions - it's the only place I've ever worked where I've actually been asked to be *more* opinionated! We also get the space to action things as well - it's great to be able to have that impact by bringing to life the things we think should be done differently.
