At Compare the Market, wellbeing isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s part of who we are and how we deliver brilliantly together. We’re committed to creating an inclusive, supportive, and healthy environment where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, feel valued, and thrive.
Our wellbeing strategy is designed to support every aspect of life including mental, social, physical, and financial. From flexible policies and proactive health initiatives to personalised resources and expert guidance, we focus on helping our people stay well, grow stronger, and perform at their best.
Whether it’s through our 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme, financial education, Mental Health First Aiders or health checks and flu vaccinations, we make wellbeing a daily priority, not just a conversation.
We believe high performance and wellbeing go hand in hand. That’s why we’ve built a culture that helps people thrive both inside and outside of work. Our approach includes private medical insurance for all, enhanced family leave for fertility, adoption, and fostering, along with the flexibility to focus on what matters most.
Building social connection is also fundamental to wellbeing, and we bring this to life through active sports communities across both sites from netball and football to e-sports, running groups, and more.
At our Peterborough office, colleagues can access an on-site health club, weekly massage sessions, Hyrox events and ongoing support from our Lead Wellbeing Practitioner. Across both our Peterborough and London offices, colleagues benefit from health checks, flu jabs, nutrition advice and in-person or remote personal training sessions, ensuring everyone has access to the support they need to feel their best.
Every colleague also has three dedicated days each year to focus on CSR, wellbeing, or personal development because when our people feel their best, they deliver their best.
“As a qualified Personal Trainer, MNU Nutritionist & Mental Health First Aider, I’m proud of the support I can provide to colleagues. I’m passionate about helping individuals with personal training, nutrition advice and health checks to enable them to make healthy choices which support their overall wellbeing.

Providing the right resources and support to care for our colleagues’ mental health and emotional wellbeing is a priority. We ensure we create a safe environment, offering preventative and reactive support, tools and interventions so colleagues understand how they can best support themselves, and others.
Working alongside carefully chosen partners, we provide everyone with access to a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme including unlimited mental health sessions, virtual GP services, private medical insurance as well as a set of comprehensive policies to suit different situations.
Physical activity plays a large role in not only ensuring we stay active and make healthy choices, but also in enhancing our mental wellbeing.
We have many ways to help our colleagues stay fit and active, including our on-site health club & classes, our ‘Meerkat Mile’ and holistic therapist offerings as well as support from Jason French, our Lead Wellbeing Practitioner.
We provide our colleagues with financial education to support and empower them to be able to make good decisions about their personal finances.
We work closely with external partners, charities and our pension provider to give everyone the knowledge and tools to successfully plan for now and in the future. And our benefits offering allows colleagues to flex what works best for them, depending on their financial situation at the time.
We have a community of Mental Health First Aiders who are a confidential point of contact for all colleagues to talk to when they need support.
We don’t need to do all the talking; our colleagues are happy to talk for themselves.
And that’s because working here is about more than just the work, and we’re proud of it.
Whatever your specialist area, wherever you are in your journey, we’d love to hear from you.
