Our commitment to inclusion

At Which?, our daily mission is to improve life for every UK consumer by reaching, understanding and representing them. That's why we nurture diversity within the workplace and are committed to mirroring the varied consumer base we serve.

We strive for an inclusive culture that ensures everyone feels valued and heard so we can deliver real impact for consumers.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion strategy

Our strategy, progress against which is discussed by our leadership team and board and council, aims to ensure we:

  • create an organisation that is reflective of the consumers we're here to support

  • have an equitable and inclusive culture where everyone can thrive

  • continue to build EDI confidence and empower colleagues to take action

  • have consciously inclusive people policies and processes, pay and benefits that are free from bias and buildings that work for everyone

Our Networks

Our employee-led networks celebrate our diverse perspectives and create a genuine sense of belonging. These groups make it easy to connect with colleagues through shared interests or unique lived experiences - offering a safe space to share ideas, find support, and collaborate to drive positive change across our organisation.

As well as the below, we have support groups around parenting, menopause and wellbeing, so you can seek out a good network of people to chat to. 

We’d love to support colleagues in creating more networks in the future.

The Mosaic Network brings together our ethnic minority colleagues to celebrate cultural diversity and help make Which? a more inclusive place to work. It’s a space to connect with others, share perspectives on the things that matter to you, and get involved in social events. We also work closely with the wider business to help shape our inclusion strategy. We’re always looking for new members to join us and bring fresh ideas to the group.

Our Disability, Accessibility and Neurodiversity Network supports colleagues with disabilities, long-term health conditions, and neurodivergent thinkers. The group shares experiences, access to resources, and helps us build a deeper, more positive understanding of disability and accessibility across Which?.

Diverse opportunities for all

We champion inclusivity through our partnerships with charities and organisations, offering a wide range of programmes aimed at underrepresented talent from school work experience to apprenticeships and paid internships.

Ex-Offenders Policy

We do not ask about criminal records in the recruitment process.

If your application is successful and we offer you a role at Which?, there are some roles where we may require a basic disclosure check*. Examples of these types of roles are Member Service Advisors and Tech Support Advisors working within our Commercial Division. We'll carry out those checks because the roles may have access to member details.

*Basic disclosures will only show convictions that are not ‘spent’.
