Our Values
Our values include all of us; that's why everything starts with we. Here are the values we share as a company:
We Believe in Sparking Curiosity
Curiosity is the essential spark for the beginning of any learning journey and for our own courageous actions to take big bets and help people learn. As a learning company we bring curiosity each day to learn how we can drive innovation and make a better contribution to our customers.
We Believe in Building Community
Our people and products act as the nexus between learners, educators, employers, creators, and partners—building communities and bridges that help people progress through learning.
We Believe in Fostering Credibility
We earn credibility and trust through a relentless focus on the highest quality standards, products, and services.
Our Culture
We value the well-being of our people. That's why, for most roles, we offer flexibility in how and where we work—be it from home, an office, or during non-traditional hours. You can help us build a culture where everyone—regardless of what they look like, where they come from, or what they believe—has the capability to unlock new skills and claim new opportunities.
At Pearson, our purpose is simple: to help people realize the life they imagine through learning. We believe that every learning opportunity is a chance for a personal breakthrough.
