Our business is about technology. But first of all, it’s about people.
At Computacenter we have brilliant people driving brilliant outcomes, each and every day. To truly enable our people to be the best they can be and deliver for our customers, we must attract and inspire the best talent in the markets we operate in. We develop and train our talent to reach their full potential, delivering great service for our customers, and driving engagement across the business.
Computacenter has a highly positive, high-performance culture, with committed people who deliver fantastic results for our customers each and every day. Our drive is to ensure we support our people, to feel engaged and motivated, and enjoy coming to work. Our culture contributes to an average length of service of over nine years, with many people returning after taking roles elsewhere or having career breaks.
Our culture directly supports our purpose and is underpinned by our Winning Together values. Our Purpose is a multi-layered message, which enables our people across the business to understand what we do, why we do it and how we deliver successfully for our customers, our business, and for each other.
A highlight from our recent Employee Survey was that people felt ‘able to be themselves’ at Computacenter, reflecting the work done on diversity and inclusion by teams across the company.
