We may be one of the UK's leading careers publishers, with offices and operations all over the world, but we've retained our small-company values. It's hard to define a company's culture, but we think ours is distinctive for the following reasons (amongst others): We have a get-it-done attitude, where no one says 'it's not my job'. Customer satisfaction is everything, but not at the expense of our internal customers - our colleagues. We are flexible and particularly understanding of staff with family commitments. Everyone's opinion is valued - salespeople and admin staff can contribute as much to the creativity of projects as designers and editorial people. Conversely, creative team members work closely with commercial staff to increase revenue and boost sales. We work as small, close-knit project and product teams in what textbooks sometimes call a matrix management structure. In other words, you could end up managing your own boss on certain projects! We treat customers and staff as individuals. Everyone - from the admin assistants to the managing directors - answers the phones, and tries to give a personal touch to their dealings with the outside world. We take training and development very seriously and tailor training programmes to individual and department needs. We recognise that people are motivated to go into publishing for very different reasons from those that might take them into other industries. We are committed to equal opportunities and diversity in our workforce. This is all the more important to us as many of our products are concerned with promoting diversity. We have a casual dress policy, but iron our shirts and dig out our interview suits for meetings with clients. We make great coffee! However, as equal opportunities employers, we respect the rights of tea drinkers and even tolerate instant coffee, for those who prefer it. We were one of the first publishers in the UK to be awarded the Investors in People standard for the training and development of our people in line with our business aims. We also have the most stunning offices we've ever seen - in a beautiful 18th century barn conversion 12 miles from Oxford and within easy reach of London. Staff in the UK enjoy a range of benefits including: employer's pension contributions, an annual shared performance reward and a sports and social club with regular subsidised activities.
