Simply Business
What's the Company Culture Like at Simply Business?
What People Are Saying About Simply Business
-
Authentic & Consistent Values: Stated values—Learning, Empowerment, Authenticity, Pioneering, and Simplicity—are tied to everyday practices, hiring, and development, with rituals like twice‑yearly values days to maintain alignment. Publicly documented people principles further describe how these values show up in work, inclusion, and giving back.
-
Learning & Knowledge Sharing: Structured development is emphasized through workshops, mentoring/coaching, employee‑led knowledge sharing, and programs such as the Simply Business Leadership Network and Level Up sessions. Formal support like tuition reimbursement, paid certifications, and internal mobility is highlighted across both UK and U.S. operations.
-
Fun, Rituals & Connection: Hybrid “smart working,” team‑bonding activities, and company‑wide moments such as Customer Service Appreciation Week are used to strengthen connection. Community initiatives like partnering with Sky’s the Limit provide additional shared purpose and cross‑team engagement.
