We believe that the strength of our organisation comes from listening to our colleagues, so we asked them to tell us what they think about Insight. Below our colleagues describe what they believe is important to Insight, what drives us to deliver excellence for our clients and what fundamentally underpins our success as an organisation.
CLIENT FOCUS
Our commitment to understanding our clients’ needs is key to delivering excellence. We are a solution-driven investment manager, providing our clients with real choice, tailoring our approach to suit our clients’ needs, both now and in the future.
INNOVATION
It is our willingness to look at things differently that drives our success. We encourage our employees to be brave and try new things – and by daring to work differently to the traditional industry approach, we allow the best ideas to flourish - creating truly inspiring results.
“We have people here who can lead, adapt and manage change. We have strong growth aspirations – and are producing innovation by the virtue of taking completely different things to market. The ability to be innovative is always tempered by a need from the financial services industry to manage risk, but Insight sees this as an opportunity to be more innovative.” Charmion, Investment Professional
COLLABORATION
Working collaboratively makes sense, and is made easy at Insight. Our size and single site location facilitates strong communication and enables us to develop a real sense of camaraderie and trust. We are non hierarchical, and the absence of egos in the organisation ensures we can focus on getting the right people together to deliver solutions, wherever their expertise lies.
"As a relatively new employee within Insight, I’ve found it incredibly refreshing to come and work in an environment where colleagues understand we are all working together, albeit with
a different focus, and irrespective of their own workloads have pro-actively offered guidance
and assistance on projects before being asked to become involved."
Jeremy, Risk Manager
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Everyone at Insight has a real passion and drive to succeed; to be pioneers and to stretch our capabilities both individually and collectively. We help to cultivate this by providing employees with genuine autonomy and trust from an early stage; to ensure employees can make their own decisions and are able to put their own mark on the organisation. With autonomy comes responsibility, and we expect all of our employees to be up for the debate, to challenge the status quo and to take ownership of what they deliver; this way they are truly empowered to achieve.
“Ever since joining Insight in 2007, Insight has provided me with a wide range of opportunities for personal development. Insight has not only sponsored me in the Investment Management Certificate and Chartered Financial Analyst programmes, but has also organised various workshops. I know of few other organisations which place such store by ensuring graduates receive training in all aspects of personal development.”
Anthony, Investment Communications Senior Associate
