What we look for

We think that our role is to help people reach their potential. In return, we expect our people to show a high level of personal motivation and commitment, as well as a willingness to take responsibility and pride in their work - whatever that work is.

• We are in the information business, so we expect our colleagues to be forward-looking and creative in their thinking. We also assume that they will have a genuine passion for our business.
• As an organization, we are judged on the quality of the products we create and the services we provide. Whether teaching and learning materials, newspapers, websites or consumer books, the words and visuals should be beautifully and succinctly expressed, and this talent for communication is something we look for when we're recruiting.
• We like people who enjoy learning, even if it's the smallest new nugget.
• We expect individuals to flourish in teams, as well as on their own.
• We encourage our staff to develop their careers by moving around the businesses and regions in which we operate.
