Nominet, with a rich history of over 25 years, is an organisation deeply committed to improving connectivity, security, and inclusivity online. Driven by its mission to make the digital realm more secure and accessible, Nominet has become a key player in the .UK internet infrastructure, developing an enviable expertise in the Domain Name System. Recognising the importance of its workforce in achieving these goals, Nominet has created an inclusive and supportive culture, with a strong focus on employee wellbeing.

The company's employee engagement initiatives are diverse and well-rounded, featuring a range of support services and activities that encourage both physical and mental health. These include health checks, flu vaccinations, cycling challenges, and team walking challenges. Nominet also ensures regular communication through blogs, town halls, and updates, ensuring that everyone feels connected and informed.

Nominet places a high value on recognition and personal development. The ValYou award scheme recognises employees who go above and beyond, while Nominet's personal development resources ensure that employees can build confidence, pursue their career goals, and maximise their potential. The launch of the 'Being a Great Manager' modules further showcases Nominet's commitment to development, equipping managers with the skills they need to excel.

Nominet's public benefit orientation is also reflected in its internal Staff GiveHub initiative, which gives employees the opportunity to apply for a grant for a charity or community group they are connected with. This initiative allows employees to make a real difference in their communities, reinforcing Nominet's commitment to positive societal impact.
