Parental leave and fertility policy

Family is important to us, which is why we offer generous parental leave. Our parental leave policy provides six weeks full pay for paternity, six months full pay (and a further six months leave available) for either maternity or shared parental leave. Thoughtworks understands that employees need to feel supported during events like IVF, fertility testing and child loss, which is why we have a comprehensive Fertility Policy to be used at your discretion.

Health and wellness

We offer both a Cash Plan covering your everyday healthcare needs and Private Medical Insurance, which makes it easy to get quick access to high-quality healthcare. Through our providers, you are able to access discounts and rewards ranging from gym, retail, cinema tickets and lots more. We also offer a range of mental health and wellbeing services, including a 24-hour helpline and dedicated apps to support you through any of life's challenges.

Income protection, critical illness and life insurance

Sometimes the unexpected happens and you’re unable to work and pay your bills. At Thoughtworks, we have income protection insurance and critical illness protection to cover those costs right through the recovery period so you can just concentrate on getting better. We provide you with life insurance to help protect your family financially in the case of death.

Pension scheme

We want to help you save money for later life, that’s why at Thoughtworks we offer a competitive contributory pension scheme.

Annual leave

We understand the importance of annual leave and flexible working on your productivity and morale. That's why at Thoughtworks we encourage you to take your annual days off from work and relax. During your working week, we offer flexible working to accommodate your lifestyle.
