A forced culture is no culture. We're working hard to rebuild a sense of what its like to work at Future and what we stand for after spending so much time isolated and working from home. Our office communities are coming back on stream and we've just completed an engagement survey which has given us some valuable insight into what works and what we can improve. If you're one of the 70% of colleagues who gave your feedback, thank you - you are helping build that culture. We grow our business organically by developing and strengthening our existing offer and we grow through acquisition. Being focused on commercial outcomes is part of our success. And our many acquisition can make it seem as though things are constantly changing. But every decision we take as a business is planned and strategised and the goals for you as an individual and your team should be clear. We're really sorry if this hasn't been the case and we'd love to know more about how we can improve this - please do reach out if you'd like to explore this further.

We're really sorry to read your feedback. Here are some of the things we love about Future: the people, the consistently fantastic performance, and the influence, opportunity & sheer joy from the content and knowledge we deliver to 400m people a month across the globe. In terms of cons: we're working hard to give our colleagues a voice and the opportunity to influence and shape the way we do our business going forward. We wish you all the best with your new/current role!
