Flexible work arrangements

IBM offers flexible working arrangements to its employees because it makes all round good business sense. The ability to work longer hours some days, shorter hours others; the ability to work from home or an IBM location nearer to home, means you can better balance the demands of your job with your interests and home life.

Being yourself at work

We have created a workplace that includes everyone and excludes no one. Simply put, IBM wants the best-qualified people the world has to offer. So by design, not mandate, ours is a culture of inclusion.

At IBM we acknowledge, value and respect diversity. We draw on diversity of thought and experience to reflect the rich array of cultures representing our broad global customer base and ensuring everybody can be their whole selves at work. We have a global network of communities to make sure we keep the conversation flowing and ensuring all perspectives are heard and respected in our company.

Lifelong learning

We at IBM understand the importance of continuous learning, that is the reason why we’ve been able to reinvent ourselves for over a century. As a company we are deeply committed to providing our employees with as many learning opportunities as we can, offering IBMers a personalized learning platform that helps every employee learn what they need to know to succeed and unleash their full potential.

Our commitment with learning and leveraging the best in us through acquiring new skills is taken to the next level with the open platform for learning IBM Skillsbuild.

Constant feedback Mentoring and coaching

Connected to our growth mindset and how we work, we can’t wait until the annual performance review to reflect on our goals and skills, because the world around us, our clients’ needs, and priorities may change at a fastest pace.

Candid, quarterly feedback is one of the assets we have to become trusted advisors both with our clients and with our employees.

With a long-standing tradition of mentoring and coaching opportunities for our employees and a culture of knowledge sharing and collaboration. This is also connected to how we work and the reason why we have embedded the principles of design thinking and agile into everything we do.
