Benefits and wellness

Benefits, tailored to you

Only you know what’s most important to you. That’s why we offer benefits packages that you can tailor to your needs. Our core benefits are region-specific, with optional components tailored to your lifestyle.

Financial benefits

Financial security is important, so our benefits packages are designed for the future. Our Share Save Plans are a core part of our financial benefits. As a listed business, we give all eligible colleagues the opportunity to buy shares in Ascential at a reduced rate. We believe that when we succeed financially, so should you.

Global opportunities

We believe strongly that people working for a global business deserve to see the working world outside of their home office. Wherever we can, we encourage our people to experience our global events. So whether it’s the south of France, Las Vegas or Bangkok, if we need extra pairs of hands to help us deliver events that truly raise the bar, our internal teams will be the first to be offered that opportunity.

Magic moments

And there are always surprises up our sleeves. From summer parties to an extra day of annual leave at the end of the year, to in-office events and FriYays (finishing work a few hours early) at certain times of year. Our extra perks are constantly evolving, but they always deliver.

Mental health support

Our culture creates a workplace that stimulates your mind but also takes care of your mental health. Wellbeing isn’t just a buzzword here. In all of our regions, we offer benefits that empower you to take care of your body and mind.

We have a team of Mental Health First Aiders here to support our people – and you can train to become one too, if you want. Our ‘Able to Thrive’ network also ensures that we are doing all that we can for our colleagues. And if you ever want to talk to someone outside of the organisation, we offer a 24-hour free, third-party, confidential advice line that can support you with mental health and financial matters.

Flexible working

Long before the pandemic, we decided that we wanted to measure our people on the work they produce, not the time they spent at a set desk, in a set location. We value output, not hours.

Game-changing ideas come at unexpected times, in unexpected places. So whether you’re an early bird who gets a surge of energy before anyone else is awake, a coffee addict who prefers the stimulation of a café to the same desk each day, or someone taking care of others, we’ll work with you to find an arrangement that fits.

Most of our roles ask for 1–2 days a week in your nearest office. But if that’s not possible for you, let’s talk. Flexible work conversations are actively encouraged here – and always will be.
