Working for the Intellectual Property Office
Our values and principles are the foundation from which we build our relationships, and in turn this influences how much a part of a wider community our people feel part of.
Our One IPO culture
Culture is what connects us and makes us who we are in IPO. It's our shared values, practices and norms that guide us and inform how we operate to make this a brilliant place to work.
We want a culture that we feel connected to and proud to be part of. One that joins us together as a One IPO community, that supports us to be who we are, that enables us to innovate and grow, embrace ambiguity and bounce back when needed. Ultimately a way of working together that supports us to be our best and enables us to achieve our future strategic ambitions and deliver for our customers.
Our cultural foundations are built on:
• principles not rules - recognising we all work differently allowing autonomy and decision making within guiding principles
• inclusion for all - where we have the confidence and support to bring our whole selves into work.
• trust in each other and assuming good intentions - to build adult relationships
Our values guide our customer and people focussed action. They are what we believe in and, along with our corporate strategy, direct what we do
The office has lots of staff networks, such as the LGBT+ network and the BAME network, and lots of sporting and leisure societies. There’s something for everyone!
We offer an extensive range of benefits to our employees, such as flexible working, excellent development opportunities and a generous pension scheme.
