At Mantel, we believe a great consultancy is built on great people. That’s why we’re genuinely focused on creating an environment where our team feels supported, both professionally and personally. One way we put this philosophy into action is through our unique benefit program, aptly named My Deal. It’s more than just a perk; it’s a commitment to giving our people the financial and practical freedom to invest in themselves as individuals.
The My Deal program empowers our team members to customise their own experience, supporting everything from career development to personal passions and well-being. It recognises that we’re all more than just our job titles—we’re dynamic individuals with diverse goals.
In part 2 of this series, we take a look at how some of our Mantel team members have recently leveraged their My Deal to shape their work and life. Check out part 1 here.
Sharpening Skills & Boosting Confidence
MyDeal is a direct investment in the skills that fuel our teams’ careers and confidence.
Jenny, Senior Data & AI Consultant, used her MyDeal for a multi-faceted approach to executive presence. She engaged a voice coach and an executive coach to improve her presenting skills, and even attended improv classes. She noted this helped her learn “how to think on my feet without being too self-conscious,” leading to increased confidence when speaking to larger and more senior audiences.
“MyDeal gave me the freedom to develop my personal skills and knowledge in ways I'd never have done independently, and allowed me to invest in myself on my own terms. Having Mantel backing my growth ambitions has really transformed my confidence in more senior settings.”

Sustainable Living & Home Support
Work-life integration means ensuring the at home work environment supports both individuals professional and personal life. MyDeal can facilitate this in a meaningful way.
Emily, Brand Marketing Lead, who works predominantly from home, invested in solar panels for her house. This not only significantly reduced her energy bills but also allows her to run her home office in a much more sustainable way. It’s a deal that benefits both her and the planet!
Fueling Passions & Holistic Well-being
We encourage our teams’ passions and prioritise well-being. MyDeal gives our team the freedom to pursue their personal goals.
Craig, Delivery Lead, is an avid runner. He channeled his MyDeal into his passion for sky and ultra-marathon trail running, purchasing running poles, a mountain bike, and other essential equipment. This support also helped him plan trips to run in unique destinations like the Blue Mountains and Mount Kosciuszko, allowing him to train and compete in his first Skyrun trail race.
Coreen, Lead Software Engineer, uses her benefit to support a busy, sporty life outside of work. She spent her MyDeal on a ClassPass subscription, allowing her to do Pilates and hit the gym to enhance her performance, and complemented this with massages for recovery. She was even able to get a few manicures to “treat herself,” showing that well-being includes self-care pampering too!
Why MyDeal matters
As Jenny perfectly put it, the MyDeal benefit is “a way of appreciating you, not just as an employee but as a person.” And Craig added that it gives us “the support and freedom to customise experiences to suit us as individuals.”
Coreen echoed this sentiment, stating she feels supported “not only in my career, but also in my physical and well-being goals outside of work by being able to tailor my MyDeal each year.”
At the end of the day, our team is the core of our business. By investing in them through a flexible, people-focused benefit like MyDeal, we’re fostering a culture of holistic growth, passion, and sustained well-being. It’s one of the many reasons that truly make Mantel a great place to work.
