Our values

Man’s values, and the behaviours they encourage, define the working environment at Man, which sets us apart to compete for outstanding talent. The decision in March 2009 to unite our three multi-manager businesses provided the opportunity to review, companywide, the values which individuals felt were distinctive, compelling and true about working for Man at all levels. A management priority for the coming financial year is to ensure that our values are reflected in our processes and measurement systems.

The values which guide our corporate behaviour are:

  • Ambition
  • Entrepreneurialism
  • Integrity
  • Open communication
  • Collaboration

Remuneration policy

Our people directly influence our success as a business and the performance we achieve for our product investors and corporate shareholders. This contribution is recognised in their advancement within the Company and in their remuneration. Our remuneration is heavily performance based and reflects individual, business unit and Company performance. The Company’s share programmes, which are an important part of total remuneration packages, ensure that our people think and act as long-term shareholders in the Company.

Employee engagement and support

Man Group’s employment policy sets the framework for achieving the highest levels of performance by offering the provision of support, assistance and understanding to all our people. Roles and responsibilities are made clear, and our internal communication focuses on helping employees understand their role in achieving corporate objectives.

Employees attend ‘Town Hall’ meetings and receive regular emails directly from senior management as well as e- bulletins, monthly business reports and business magazines via the Intranet.

We engage with our people through surveys which are transparently analysed and reported. Our UK and US employees are encouraged to invest in the business in which they work through a share-based savings incentive scheme.

Man’s culture is grounded in mutual respect and non-discrimination irrespective of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or educational background. We offer tangible support to our people, which includes
making arrangements for disabled employees including those who may have become disabled during their employment with us.
