Equality, diversity and inclusion
A commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion underpins our company values and behaviours. We believe that when people with different backgrounds and perspectives work together, we can create the most value for our people, readers, customers and society.
Equitable processes
As a people-centric organisation, creating an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels supported, valued and developed, is a strategic priority for us. We continually review our policies to support all, covering areas from neurodiversity to menopause and transitioning. Our range of benefits include enhanced family, surrogacy and care leave, as we look to support our people at all stages of their lives.
Our commitment to corporate diversity
We want to make sure we have fairness and equality across all levels of our company. As part of this, we publish our ethnicity pay gap report, alongside our gender gap statistics, on an annual basis.
We know we still have work to do to close our pay gap and are committed to doing so. To help us, weโve pledged to 50% representation of women in our leadership and top-paid roles, and 20% ethnically diverse leaders by 2028.
Partner organisations
Weโre proud to work in collaboration with the following organisations: ย
Community and belonging
As part of our commitment to creating a truly supportive, equitable and diverse culture, weโve established seven network groups at Immediate. Theyโฏprovideโฏan open environment for people to network, mentor and exchange ideas,โฏsolutionsโฏandโฏexperiences โ and importantly, help influence positive action and change.
Sustainability
We believe we have a responsibility to reduce our impact on the world and be more sustainable in everything we do. Weโre working hard to reduce our emissions by 30% by 2030 and to be net zero by 2045. Our people are key to influencing this change, so weโre giving them the knowledge, tools and resources to help combat the climate emergency, both at home and at work. We offer:
- Climate literacy trainingโฏto understand the science of climate change.
- Department specific trainingโฏโ whatever your job is, you will be equipped with insights and actions to act with the planet in mind.
- Regular sessions with Couch to Carbon Zero, offering tips and advice on how to be more sustainable in your home life, from banking and energy to fast fashion and travel.
- Regular Lunch and Learnโฏsessions.
We also offer:
- The option to opt into anโฏethical pensionโฏ
- Aโฏcycle to workโฏscheme
- Showersโฏandโฏchanging rooms
- Electric vehicleโฏcharging points
Weโre also committed to a greener workplace. All our offices are powered by 100% renewable energy, with low energy lighting installed throughout, with sensor activated lights and air conditioning to reduce energy consumption. When it comes to food and drink, we always offer vegan and vegetarian options, and no single-use products in our subsidised canteen. We donate all leftover food to local food waste charity, Olio, and have a zero-to-landfill policy.
Learning and Development
We want our people to learn and grow whilst at Immediate and invest in their development to give them the skills, tools and experience to thrive in their careers.ย
We offer everyone access to an online learning platform, so they can curate their own learning and development plans, in addition to in-person learning opportunities focused on key skills. We invest in our people and managers to develop skills we need today and in the future, including those around data, video and AI.ย
Learning together, to create new connections and a shared sense of discovery and innovation, is also hugely important at Immediate. We host company-wide learning days and initiatives, as well as workshops and events to support peopleโs personal development and wellbeing.ย
Outreach
Making a positive impact in our local communities is important to us. Throughout the year, we work closely with charities and community groups to support the valuable work they do, including:
- Solidarity Sportsย โ supporting children recovering from complex trauma.
- Barons Court Project โ the only day centre in Hammersmith and Fulham supporting the homeless and vulnerable.
Weโve also partnered with OnHand to make it easy for people to give back and support causes they care about.
Meet the People Team
Immediateโs People Team are here to support and develop everyone during their time here, helping to bring our company culture and values to life. The People Team includes our HR, Talent Acquisition, ED&I, Learning & Development, Internal Events, Communications and Facilities teams.
Recent awards
Weโre proud of the awards our brands, teams and people have earned, including winning the PPAโs Diversity & Inclusion Award, recognising the talent, creativity and values at the heart of Immediate.
