Our Culture & Values
Our Core Values define our culture and who we truly are. They are intrinsic traits and qualities embedded into what we do – and we are passionate about building a culture of people around them, to ultimately ensure Reed Professional Services is a great place to work and ensure that our clients see these values reflected in the work that we deliver.
Alongside our core values, we have a strong commitment to social value. Our founder, Sir Alec Reed, was knighted in recognition of his entrepreneurial and philanthropic work and his commitment to social causes continues to run through our organisation.
18% of profits are invested in charitable causes, via The Reed Foundation, and we are proud to say we work one day a week for charity. The Foundation has donated over £10 million to charitable causes and provided seed funding for organisations including Womankind, Ethiopiaid, Women at Risk and The Big Give.
We’ve helped raise £100 million for over 1,150 charities through The Big Give.
We believe in the power of teamwork & inclusivity.
We always strive for better performance from ourselves & our teams, ensuring balance between work & play by building moral and encouraging others.
We are customer focused – we value & grow our reputation through trust, integrity & respect.
We are constantly moving, learning & adapting to change, through open & honest communication and collaboration.
We apply relentless effort – we solve problems, we take pride in delivery, & we apply great attention to detail.
We take ownership & are accountable, we are also humble and learn from our mistakes.
We’ve made a number of environmental commitments to best respond to the COP26 climate summit
Our sister company, Reed in Partnership, has helped over 150,000 people return to employment through training and skills programmes.
Every month, 12,000 people improve their skills and their prospects by enrolling on a course through Reed.
