ASC CSR

Ensuring we are a corporate, social and responsible business

Giving something back to society

Here at ASC, we are passionate about ensuring the services we provide will have a positive impact on society. This is why we make a conscious effort to support local and wider community causes and make a difference within the industries we focus on. Here are the activities we’ve undertaken to support causes over the last 12 months:

Children in Need

For the last two years we have undertaken physical challenges as a company to raise money for BBC Children in Need. In 2017 we raised £1342 after challeging ourselves to climb 96750 steps (the height of Kilamanjaro and Mount Everest combined) dressed as 80's fitness fanatics. In 2018 we cycled 300 miles as a company dressed as superheros and raised £2202.The money we have raised has gone to help transform the lives of disadvantaged children and young people across the UK. 

Christmas Jumper Day

The Birmingham office participated in the national Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 15th December 2017 to raise money for Save the Children.The money raised helped disadvantaged children across the world.

Armed Forces Covenant

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. It encourages employers to pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.


ASC signed the Covenant in October 2017 and have pledged to make it their priority to support those who have served and their spouses to find work. We understand the benefit previous armed forces personnel can bring to an organisation and actively encourage applications from them for our roles.


We are looking at becoming more actively involved in supporting their career transition from forces to “Civvy Street” by proving advice and guidance.


If you have previously worked or are a spouse of someone who has worked within the armed forces, please send your CV to asc@asc-connections.com and we’d be happy to support you in finding work.

If you work for a charity, network or any kind of group that actively supports community causes or the sectors we recruit for, we would welcome you to contact us to see if we are able to support or work together.

In recent years, the traditional 9-to-5 office model has undergone a revolutionary transformation. The rise of technology and changing attitudes towards work-life balance have given birth to the concept of hybrid working – a flexible work arrangement that combines both remote and in-office work. This shift has brought about many benefits for both employers and employees, ushering in a new era of productivity, collaboration, and overall job satisfaction. Enhanced Flexibility: One of the primary advantages of hybrid working is the unparalleled flexibility it offers. Employees no longer need to be confined to their office desks from 9 to 5; instead, they can choose when and where they work. This flexibility allows individuals to tailor their work hours to their peak productivity times, promoting a healthier work-life balance and reducing stress levels. Increased Productivity: Contrary to the initial scepticism surrounding remote work, numerous studies have shown that employees in hybrid working environments often experience increased productivity. The absence of a daily commute, reduced office distractions, and the ability to create a personalised work environment contribute to a more focused and efficient workforce. Cost Savings: From the employer's perspective, hybrid working translates to significant cost savings. With fewer employees in the office daily, companies can downsize their physical office space, leading to reduced rent and utility expenses. Meanwhile, employees can save on commuting costs and allocate those funds elsewhere, further contributing to financial well-being. Improved Employee Well-being: The flexibility offered by hybrid working promotes better mental and physical well-being among employees. The ability to customize one's work environment, take breaks as needed, and avoid the stress of commuting, contributes to increased job satisfaction and overall happiness. Resulting in lower turnover rates and a more engaged and motivated workforce. In Summary The benefits of hybrid working are evident across various aspects of professional life. From increased flexibility and productivity to cost savings and improved employee well-being, this modern work model is reshaping the way we approach our careers. As businesses continue to evolve and adapt to the changing landscape, embracing hybrid working may very well be the key to a more sustainable, efficient, and fulfilling future of work. If you think you would benefit from hybrid working get in touch with one of our consultants and we would be happy to support you in finding a new role.
