Our culture and values

Being your true self at work

We’re committed to creating a great place to work for all our colleagues here at HMRC. We want everyone to feel valued, supported and comfortable being their true self at work. 
 
We’re proud to be a diverse and inclusive employer, supporting social mobility by giving opportunities to people from all walks of life. We want to maximise the potential of everyone who chooses to work for us and offer a range of flexible working patterns and support. Our aim is to make a fulfilling career at HMRC accessible to you.   

Staff diversity networks

Our staff diversity networks are open to everyone in HMRC and are a great way to learn more about others and celebrate our diversity. The networks provide a forum to discuss ideas and concerns to help eliminate barriers that exist for our people and customers.    

Our staff diversity networks include: 

• disability 
• age 
• gender 
• LGBTQ+ 
• race 
• social mobility 
• religion or beliefs  
• carers
• EU nationals 

Each network has directly had an impact on influencing decision-making, business strategies and ultimately improving the way HMRC operates. You can join any of these networks when you start with us and getting involved is easy.  

Health and wellbeing

Wellbeing is incredibly important to us. Taking care of our physical and mental wellbeing helps increase creativity and job satisfaction and means that we’re more likely to fulfil our potential.  

We have a range of initiatives in place to help employees focus on wellbeing. These include our Employee Assistance Programme which offers free, confidential advice and support for a number of issues including work, family and personal issues. We also regularly hold wellbeing workshops and sessions, and have a range of additional resources to support you with everything from physical heath to financial wellbeing.
