Where people come first
When you join IFF, you’ll find more than a job. You’ll find a place where you can grow, feel valued and make a real contribution from day one.
You’ll be part of a friendly, collaborative team where everyone is encouraged to be themselves, share their ideas and support one another. Our values shape everything we do, and our Rules of the Game bring them to life in the way we work together every day.
You’ll also have the flexibility to work in ways that suit your life, including a four-day working week, giving you more time to recharge while building a rewarding career with purpose.
Supporting wellbeing
Promoting wellbeing, and creating a safe and supportive environment for all, is a commitment we take seriously. We want all of our team to be happy and healthy, which is why we created an employee-led Wellbeing Committee, who crafted our wellbeing commitment:
At IFF, we put wellbeing at the heart of our workplace culture. It is core to our organisational values and ways of working.
We support our people to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle, both in and out of work.
Our Wellbeing Committee:
-
Runs initiatives and regular events that promote physical and mental wellbeing
-
Writes articles in our monthly newsletter about the external support available
-
Oversees our team of Mental Health First Aiders who can offer first line support and identify concerns
Promoting learning and development
We want all of our team to continue to learn and develop during their time with us. We support this by:
-
Making sure you have access to high quality training – both internal and external.
-
Having a fluid development path. Our team don’t have to wait for a position to become available to progress, we promote, and create roles, based on individual readiness. Our bespoke POP framework (performance, opportunity, progression) outlines what good looks like at each level and helps you identify the things you need to be doing to make the next step.
-
Taking a human first approach. We’ll support you to learn and develop in a personal way, as well as in a technical way. We believe that anything you do to develop confidence and grow personally benefits us hugely too.
-
Continuous feedback. We promote in the moment feedback to support our annual appraisal cycle which is built around 4 quarterly check points.
We’re proud that our commitment to developing our people has been recognised in several different awards.
Committed to make a difference
Our value of making a difference goes beyond our work and our people. We want to make a difference to the society we live and work in – and there are a number of ways we’re doing this:
-
In line with our MRS Climate Pledge, our Green Group lead our work to embed sustainable business practices.
-
Ensuring that equality, diversity and inclusion is embedded into our culture and working practices.
-
Supporting charities both locally and nationwide. We enable our employees to give back, with two paid volunteering days and company matched fundraising. We also support charities directly through annual giving and partnerships. Learn more about our charitable work.
