Be yourself

We want all our employees to do their best work in a healthy working environment where they feel included and able to be themselves. Our culture thrives on diversity, and we value and actively encourage different views, experiences and opinions.

What we offer

Leaders in Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture and run several initiatives to support our goal, including a guided mentoring programme. This connects mentees from three groups who experience lower levels of inclusion or are currently underrepresented in leadership at Springer Nature, with mentors within our organisation and aims to help mentees to develop professionally by building new skills, expanding their networks and growing their careers.

Flexible working options

Because of the positive benefits offered by working from home for many colleagues during the pandemic, all employees can now choose to work from home for at least 2 days a week. We also offer the flexibility for colleagues to take a workation of up to 20 days where they can work remotely and combine it with a holiday or visit to see friends and family.

Free and confidential support

To support our colleagues going through difficulties we provide an Employee Assistance Programme that offers wellbeing support as well as legal and financial guidance. It is available to contact 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and free of charge to all employees and members of their household.

Employee stories

"Since joining the company in 2004 I have been able to play a key role in Springer Nature’s accessibility journey, so I was delighted to recently become a Valuable 500 Generation Valuable mentee. Springer Nature is one of 75 companies taking part in this brand-new programme from The Valuable 500 to develop the next generation of leaders with disabilities. I’m excited that I’ll be helping to promote accessibility and inclusion as an opportunity for innovation and embedding a “progress before perfection” mindset into our culture."

"I came back from parental leave in the middle of the pandemic but was able to make an impact - both on people and on product. I've had three different roles in less than five-year years at Springer Nature - I've stretched myself and tried new things in a safe and supportive environment. I like that I can be myself and bring my strengths to my work, while also working on new skills and improving existing ones."

"As a gay immigrant, my identity has always been celebrated within Springer Nature. Be it through employee networks, editorial communities, informal get togethers or the day-to-day support of my team and colleagues, my workplace has always felt welcoming. Springer Nature’s mission in so many ways aligns with what I feel passionate about and that allows me to bring my authentic self to work every day."

Our employee networks

Our employee networks focus on fostering dialogue around diversity, community building, advice, advocacy and sustainability.

Our networks unite people who share an identity – like being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a person with a disability or a parent – with those who support them and who want to learn more about their perspectives and experiences. The Green Office Network also brings colleagues together to take action around a common interest; reducing our environmental impact.
