Our Values
Our ten core values shape everything we do. These inform the foundations of our relationships with customers and each other but they also shape how we measure and reward the performance of our colleagues. Simply put, success is not about who you are or how loud you shout, but about the impact you make and what you do. We encourage doing rather than dreaming – if you have an idea, speak up and we will listen! Everyone’s opinion matters and any suggestions are welcomed.
Our Diversity
We aim to foster a culture where individuals of all backgrounds feel confident in bringing their whole selves to work, feel included, and have their talents nurtured, empowering them to contribute fully to our vision and goals.
It's what we do that counts, not where we do it...
At Beyond Retail, we believe the future of work is about flexibility. Not everyone does their best work from an office and wants to work from home exclusively. Moving forward, employees can work flexibly from home or in the office. We even have an app that enables you to schedule your time & space at the office to suit you!
Home Working Support Scheme
We want to ensure that those who choose to work from home can still work in the best possible environment and are not left out of pocket.
In a nutshell, we offer a one-off allowance for you to set up your home office.
