At its core, YMU is a people business and as such we place paramount importance on our culture. Our service proposition relies on us working as a team and we want to attract, and retain, exceptional people who want to be part of something bigger than themselves.
We are committed to creating an environment where our team can do the best work of their careers - and are empowered with the toolkit to do so. We believe passionately in building a company that celebrates diversity, curiosity, challenges the status quo and amplifies the world’s most talented voices.

Access
A committee created to champion the rights of those affected by disability. The committee’s primary purpose is to enable employees to support each other and suggest meaningful actions to make YMU a more representative place to work and, importantly, be a force for positive change.
"Culture has been described as the invisible glue that keeps groups together and helps them operate at their best – we’ve seen this come to light in this period more than at any other time in the Group’s history. Maintaining and developing our culture is YMU’s top priority as it forms the foundation for everything we do - for our clients and for each other.
Please see below our 'Ways of Working', a Group-wide behavioural framework sitting at the heart of the business, our processes and practices. We want to make these as clear, measurable and meaningful as possible. They sit at the heart of our appraisals, and form the basis on bonus allocation, providing the key to progress and longevity within the Group"
