Last year we made a commitment to listen, learn and take action to create a more #diverse workplace. We kickstarted some really important conversations on what needs to be done to achieve that. Conversations such as the ones Paulos, Muktar and Terence share below 💬 Since last #BlackHistoryMonth we've introduced a number of key initiatives that will keep us progressing and accountable to our commitments. 1. A new Race at Work pilot scheme 2. Anonymous recruitment diversity surveys 3. A dedicated Inclusion & Diversity squad 4. We're signatories of the British Retail Consortium's D&I charter We're proud of our people for working together to make Very a great place to work. #diveristyandinclusion #lifeattheverygroup

Last week we celebrated our degree apprentices graduating 🎓 with career advice and cocktails 🍹 Having been with us since 2017, spending four days in-role and one day a week studying with The Manchester Metropolitan University, we've watched these superstars grow and thrive in our teams. It's been a long four years, especially with both remote working and studying thrown into the mix, so it feels extra special that they've all completed their degrees and now start their full-time careers in our data, DCX, engineering, category management and fashion teams! 🎉 Congrats to Annie, Megan, Jake, Jack, Dylan, Jack, Joseph, Ben, Korhan, Lauren and Olivia 🎉 We're also sending a huge good luck to our 2020 interns who are starting to head back for their final year at uni after spending an internship like no other with us over the last 10 months. Remember team, you got this far, you can achieve anything you put your mind to! 💪 Keep in touch and we hope to see you back at Very in the future :-) Emily, Celine, Mateusz, Adam, Jessica, Olivia, Elishia, Helen Peters, Katie Wickham, and Molly.
For such a big school moment, only 'backseat of the bus' confidence will do 😎 Our talented teams have created a campaign that backs the nations teenagers, like Nicolas in our latest ad, giving them a confidence boost to go back to the new school year and smash it. Great work from the many, many teammates across the business that worked on this. You smashed it! #LifeAtTheVeryGroup #VeryBackToSchool #ad
We’ve welcomed over 400 new teammates to Very since the start of the year, all doing amazing things! #VeryAmbitious Take Paul Grove, our senior engineering lead.

At The Very Group, we want to be a positive force in the world by supporting our communities, minimising our impact on the #environment, offering #sustainable products for customers, and treating our people and those in our supply chain in an ethical and inclusive way. We've committed to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Roadmap to Net Zero which aims to make the entire retail industry in the UK carbon neutral by 2040.

At The Very Group - Experimentation drives innovation 🚀 Behind every new shopping feature on our sites and apps, there’s a top team of tech people and a whole lot of experimentation and analysis too. We recently went live with multi-select filter functionality on our sites, to help customers navigate our thousands of world famous brands and products within a few quick clicks. Our team of experts are behind the scenes monitoring performance of the experiment and how it improves our customer journey before releasing it to a base of 4.5m customers. This is just one of the many reasons working in online retail is so exciting, we don't sit still! #jointhereinvention #customerexperience
