Our Values
In Reed, we describe all our permanent employees as ‘Co-Members’, because it reminds us that we are all part of a team, pulling together to achieve common objectives.
Reed is family-owned and run and has grown organically, rather than by acquisition, to a company of 2,700 Co-Members in over 300 offices in towns and cities across the UK and Ireland. Our rate of growth has been entirely driven by the hard work and creative energy of our Co-Members and we are committed to ensuring that people are at the heart of everything we do – and how we do it:
Our Purpose is to be First Choice for People:
- We aim to ensure that our business should be first choice for all our customers
- We continually seek to offer more for less
- We strive to attract outstanding Co-Members
Our Philosophy is that People Make the Difference:
- Opportunities for enterprising Co-Members are at the heart of our strategy
- This is what we call Venture Peoplism – we invest in people and reward innovative ideas
- We foster a spirit of entrepreneurship by encouraging Co-Members to put forward good ideas to make our business better and by giving them the resources to turn them into reality
Our Promise is The Intelligent Response:
- Delivered by creating customer-focused business units which are focused, flexible and fast; we describe this strategy as Starburst
- We create room for individual expression and for the development of distinctive client-focused strategies in the different arenas in which we operate
- Our overall focus is to provide business services that are centred on people
