Our colleagues tell us one of the best things about working at Sage is being able to take five paid days each year to volunteer for charities close to their hearts. Last year alone we delivered 31,250 days of volunteering worth £4.2 million to our beneficiaries.

We asked Sage colleagues "Why do you love Sage?" and to new starters, "Why did you join Sage?" We then took all their responses and formed this word cloud. This is what it's like to work here.
Our colleagues feel empowered. They love the fact it's friendly here at Sage and our work has meaning. We are inspired by our colleagues and leaders and we are creative. It's fantastic we feel there's a great work-life balance and career progression is reality.

I have been working at Sage full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
In the last 10 months or so, we have refocused, realigned, got very clear on our purpose, been clear on the lenses we will make our choices on (customers, colleagues and innovation) and we’ve mobilised and changed the way we are thinking about what we do. In truth it’s been difficult but ten months in its fantastic to see the energy and passion it’s brought back into the fabric of who we are, what we do and why we do it. The energy is infectious and it’s even more exciting to think about what we can achieve together.
Things that I love
Sage foundation
Inclusivity
Training for managers
Removing old 1970s style performance reviews and replacing with agile, development led iterations
Realigned bonus
Investment in things that matter and how i can see the link to the strategy
Matched behaviours with our mission - it’s no longer corporate words on a slide deck - it’s tangible
Cons
Structurally we need to make sure we don’t over complicate and we MUST continue to simplify the experience we all have when at work. Legacy ways of working need reinvented to adjust to the new thinking.
Things we need to change
Complicated sign off processes
More accountability deeper in regions
Clearer frameworks for people to work in - guides not rules
Stop and start projects more clearly - get really decisive on our priorities
Advice to Management
Keep going, Be bold and don’t be afraid or tentative about making the changes we need. There is a much deeper trust in the business today than you might imagine and people will appreciate the clarity.
