Insight is a business whose success is critically dependant on recruiting and retaining the most talented and innovative individuals. We rely on the creative thinking of our colleagues to determine the very best solutions to meet our client’s needs. Colleague contribution is paramount to Insight’s future, so we want to ensure our colleagues are passionate about working here, so that they are in the best place to deliver for us and for themselves.  

It’s also important to understand that at Insight, we don’t just buck trends, we start them. It is our philosophy to approach things from a different angle; for both our clients and colleagues we aim to stand out from the crowd and ensure that working at Insight is something to be proud of.  

Here are a few comments from our colleagues outlining what they believe differentiates us from our competitors.

“We are not a ‘corporate machine’ – I know it sounds cheesy but here you aren’t just a number, you can be as visible as you want to be which I have found difficult in other asset managers.”
Sarah, Head of Client Services and Administration   

"Insight is a business that doesn’t stand still; it’s constantly driving forward. When I might feel things are settling down, something new and exciting will be round the corner to give me another challenge to get my teeth into. There isn’t a day that is the same as the last and I find that really exciting. It’s the people at Insight and the breadth of experience that I get which keeps me here. I feel my career and skills are being developed year on year. As a relatively small business of over 300 people, I feel less of a number and more of an individual. That, coupled with the people I work with, to me makes for a good place to work."
Winnie, Head of Financial Analysis

"Insight has the best of both worlds - it’s small enough to be able to build really strong relationships, and have an impact as an individual, but big enough to give you the scope to develop and progress quickly. You can be more in charge of your own career here, broaden your knowledge and maximise your potential. Insight has a lot of great people to learn from and you never stop learning - that’s what keeps me motivated."
Nella, HR Business Partner

At Insight, it's not just about what you do and how you behave within the organisation that makes Insight feel different and special to our colleagues, it is also important to understand how we position ourselves externally:

Corporate sponsorship

Insight’s role as lead sponsor of the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition provides us with a number of unique opportunities both for clients and for colleagues. Insight Investment has been the proud sponsor the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition for the past five years and we are delighted to confirm the continuation of this relationship until 2011.

Through this relationship we are able to leverage benefits including unique client entertainment opportunities within the historic surroundings of the Royal Academy, private tours of the exhibitions, complimentary colleague access to all exhibitions with discounted entry for their families/friends and in-house lunchtime art workshops.
