Our Wellbeing support is available to all employees from our Employee Assistance Programme and Financial Wellbeing initiatives to our onsite services that include a GP, Physiotherapist, Beautician and Gym.

Learning, development and recognition
The very best you can be
You’ll find a variety of opportunities to develop your skills at The Telegraph. Our Academy offers everything from face-to-face workshops to articles, podcasts and videos.
These cover areas such as influencing, time management and presentation skills. This links to our Career Builder programme and helps you and your manager to identify the training you need to progress.
Building your career
Our Career Builder programme assesses your strengths and weaknesses and makes recommendations to help improve your skills.
You and your manager can use the results to develop a structured career path that meets your ambitions, into more senior roles or even into a new area of the organisation. You can also access an external Careers Coaching workshop for independent career advice.
Continuous support
Career Mentor is our online mentoring platform that enables you to ask for mentoring to cover a particular skills or area of your work.
It matches you with two relevant mentors, depending on your needs. We’re currently linking Career Mentor to our Career Builder programme, so it can identify the areas you may need mentoring in.
Time to change
In January 2019, The Telegraph were the 1,000th company to sign the Time to Change Pledge on mental health.
Our plan to change the way we think and act about mental health at work includes training 100 staff members as mental health first aiders, so employees with mental health issues know they have the support they need, when they need it.
Our commitment to fairness
Improving diversity, increasing representation and fostering an inclusive culture remain long term commitments at Telegraph Media Group. We believe it’s not only the right thing to do, but that there’s a strong business case to support it. We are focusing on delivering initiatives and programmes which invest in our people, diversify our workforce and enhance everyone’s careers and well-being.
Our six inclusion networks are open for anyone to join. They include Able (accessibility), Out Loud (LGBTQ+), Ethnic and Cultural Diversity, Women, Well-being and Working Families. Each one plays a key role in supporting our people and creating a greater sense of inclusion and belonging for everyone. These networks offer a variety of different support activities including workshops and events to encourage a more open discussion around inclusion in the workplaces.
