Benefits

Rewarding people

Right from the start of the recruitment process, we want you to feel part of the FT. And we take great care of our people – from rewards and remuneration through to professional and personal development. We believe in sharing our success and we understand that there’s more to life than just work.

Of course, in an organisation as diverse and progressive as ours, benefits, terms and conditions sometimes vary in different companies and countries. But here’s a general guide:

Financial Benefits

• Share/Stock Plans and Save for Shares schemes
  Operated through our parent company Pearson Plc, these enable our people to own a stake in our businesses.
• Pension and Life Assurance
  UK employees can save for the future through the Pearson Group Pension Plan, benefiting from life assurance cover of up to four times their salary. Outside the UK, we provide competitive local pension and life assurance provisions.
• Company Loans
  We offer interest-free loans for travel season tickets.
• Holiday
  We offer competitive paid holiday allowances in line with the country of hire.
  

Health, well-being and family life

• Working parents
  We offer generous leave arrangements for working parents, which include enhanced maternity leave, paternity leave and parental leave.
  
• Private Medical Insurance
  Our employees enjoy free private medical insurance, with concessionary rates for immediate family members.
• Gym
  To help you stay fit and healthy, we offer subsidised membership of selected gyms close to most of our locations.
  
• “PeopleLine"
  All FT employees and their immediate families have access to a confidential service providing help and advice on financial, emotional, health and legal issues. It’s paid for by the FT but managed by an external company to ensure complete confidentiality.
  
• Other Facilities
  Some of our larger locations also offer an occupational health service and on-site restaurant and dining facilities.
