Supporting Personal Endeavours for a Good Work-Life Balance

At BDO Jersey, we are committed to fostering a workplace environment that supports our employees' personal and professional ambitions. We believe that a healthy work-life balance is key to achieving meaningful and fulfilling work experiences. Our policies and culture are designed to help our staff thrive both in and out of the office.

Rhys Powell, our Audit and Assurance Manager, exemplifies the benefits of this approach. A keen touch rugby player, Rhys is a vital member of the Jersey Touch Association and the BDO team that competes in the corporate league. His dedication to the sport has earned him a spot on the Jersey squad for the 2024 Inter-Insulars match against Guernsey on June 15th and this month Rhys was nominated as the vice-captain for the Jersey team competing in the Touch Rugby World Cup in July. This competition is set to be the largest touch competition ever, with 190 teams representing over 40 nations.
