Find where you thrive

Can you build a successful career and still have a life outside work? For graduates starting out, career progression matters — but so does wellbeing, flexibility and having time for the things that matter outside work. In our latest careers article, we hear from four women who joined NFU Mutual through our Graduate Scheme: Willow Wright, Sarah Kilmister, Lucy Backhouse and Ellie Jackson. They share how flexibility, study support, supportive managers and a genuinely people-focused culture have helped them grow their careers while maintaining balance. With Flexa awarding NFU Mutual 91% for work-life balance, 90% for being early career friendly and 93% for being family friendly, their stories help show what those scores mean in real life. Read the article to learn how we support graduates to build careers that feel sustainable as well as successful.

Our Virgin Media O2 benefits are designed to support our people through life's everyday moments and unexpected challenges. We recently caught up with Network Engineer Stacey Dunne at one of our Field Engineer Team Days, where she shared how our emergency leave benefit has made a real difference to her life with a young child. Having access to support when she needs it most gives Stacey the flexibility and peace of mind to focus on both her work and the people who matter most. Benefits aren't just about what's on paper. They're about supporting our colleagues in meaningful ways and helping them balance their careers with life outside of work. Watch Stacey's story to hear firsthand how our emergency leave benefit has helped her and why having the right support can make all the difference.

Recently, Nathan, one of our TUI Pilots, spent some time with Lauren in one of our Retail stores, getting a behind-the-scenes look at what life is like on the shop floor.⁣ ⁣ From supporting customers and planning dream holidays to navigating multiple systems and providing expert advice, Nathan gained a new appreciation for everything that goes into delivering a great in-store experience.⁣ ⁣ Taking the opportunity to learn from colleagues in different areas of the business helps us better understand the bigger picture, appreciate each other's expertise, and see how every role contributes to creating unforgettable holiday experiences. At TUI, career development isn't just about moving up, it's about understanding the bigger picture. 🖼️⁣
