TACT is more than just the name of our agency—it’s our way of being.
Working with tact means acting with care, intelligence, and sensitivity, listening closely to others—colleagues, clients, and the public.
TACT is committed to providing a rich and flexible environment that respects individuality, ensuring that everyone feels valued and respected.
The Perfect Balance
Finding the perfect balance at work is both a challenge and a personal journey. At TACT, we strive to provide an environment that supports our team in pursuing this ideal.
Achieving balance at TACT is a unique journey for everyone.
Generalist — Specialist
Within the agency, we value both generalists and specialists, recognizing that each team member’s strengths offset the other’s weaknesses, and vice-versa. Some choose to develop a specific expertise in a niche industry, while others prefer a broader approach, spanning multiple sectors. The same applies to task specialization; some focus on honing particular skills, while others maintain a broader expertise to tackle varied deliverables. In addition to being flexible and finetuning our way of working to best fit your company image and profile, TACT offers a variety of expertise and collaboration practices to our clients. TACT’s diverse expertise ensures we always have the right person for the job, making it our specialty!
In-office presence — Remote work
Employees have the flexibility to shape their office presence. While in-person attendance is encouraged to build rapport among team members, it is not mandatory, allowing everyone to decide their office schedule based on their needs and enjoy the benefits of both options. With TACT’s lively office culture, it’s easy to be drawn into the various social events, networking opportunities, and much more.
Client Projects — Internal Projects
While client projects are a top priority, internal initiatives are just as numerous and important to sustaining TACT’s unique culture. Both are highly valued here. Internal involvement is encouraged in many ways, whether to enhance office life, support organizational growth, elevate our employer brand, or pursue other initiatives that reflect our mission.
Joy — Rigour
Enjoyment and rigour are foundational values at TACT. Since the agency’s inception, we’ve put these two values at the forefront of our pursuits, ensuring we deliver high-quality work all while having fun doing it. This balance is made possible by fostering a relaxed environment that celebrates smart, high-quality work.
Work — Personal life
Employee well-being is essential at TACT, which is why we provide a range of tools to help maintain a work-life balance. Options include remote work, a flexible leave bank for parents, flexible hours, and the possibility of “workcations.” This allows employees to find their own balance, thriving in both their personal and professional lives.
Stability — Innovation
From long-term assignments to short-term projects, outsourcing services, crisis management, and more, TACT offers a range of opportunities that provide stability across a number of projects while constantly presenting new challenges and experiences.
