Great place to work

Our people bring great talent, energy and experience to the business and are vital to Rightmove’s success. Making Rightmove a great pace to work is a management objective and recognises that our people are our most valued asset.

Employee engagement

We conduct a ‘Have your Say’ people survey twice a year to gauge how our employees feel about working for Rightmove. The survey results are followed up by every manager, supported by our HR team. We place great importance on the feedback of our employees, and we achieved a ‘Great Place to Work’ score of 89% at the end of 2025. In 2025 Rightmove was included for the second year in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work index.

Attracting and retaining world-class talent

Attracting talent with the right skills and capabilities is critical for delivering our strategy and creating value for all stakeholders. In 2025, we strengthened our talent strategy by redesigning recruitment processes to ensure cultural alignment through values-based interviews.

Learning and Development

Growth and development are fundamental parts of the Rightmove culture. They empower people to direct their own careers and reach their full potential, as well as delivering results for Rightmove and ensuring we can deliver on our strategy. In 2025, Rightmove provided its employees with an average of 12 hours of training. 100% of employees at Rightmove were offered training. The total number of training hours provided in 2025 was 10,625 hours, including 3,403 hours of mandatory training and 7,222 hours of technical development training. The average training cost per employee was £589.

Rightmove’s approach to reward and benefits

Our reward and benefits approach is designed to reinforce performance and engagement. Employees benefit from competitive pay, a 7% pension contribution, private healthcare, and 27 days of annual leave plus two volunteering days. Flexibility is supported through hybrid working (up to three remote days), alongside initiatives such as Bike to Work, life assurance, and interest-free travel and rental deposit loans. In 2025, we enhanced this with an EV salary sacrifice car scheme, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and green strategies.

Participation in our annual Sharesave scheme continued, with 51% of Group employees currently participating. Every employee received free Rightmove shares worth £3,000 under the HMRC approved Share Incentive Plan in 2025, strengthening alignment with Company success. Rightmove remains proud to be a Living Wage employer.

Well-being and Health & Safety

Rightmove promotes mental health and wellbeing through arrange of initiatives. Every office has trained Mental Health First Aiders, and dedicated wellbeing pods provide space for employees to take time out when needed. In 2025, we supported Mental Health Awareness Week and Baby Loss Awareness Week with employee-led stories and activities, fostering openness and support. Community volunteering and acts of kindness were encouraged via the OnHand app, and we continued to make charitable donations to mental health charities.

Health and Safety outcomes

Rightmove’s Health and Safety Policy and outcomes were reviewed by the Board during the year. There were no fatalities or serious injuries reported during the year and there was no lost time due to work-related incidents or occupational disease.

Workforce engagement – Board Connection sessions

In response to Code provision 5, on engaging with the workforce to understand their views, the Board held three Board connection sessions with employees during the year, built around themes, which this year were Remuneration and Reward, International Women’s Day and Key Leaders. The sessions have been popular, providing NEDs with direct feedback and insights. Actions are taken forward by the GLT for implementation where possible, supporting the employee voice and further enhancing Rightmove’s healthy and high performance culture.

Making a difference to our communities

We are pleased to report that charitable donations, including matched funding and sponsorship, totalled £318,826 in 2025 (2024: £299,680). A Charities and Communities Group ensures that corporate giving reflects stakeholder priorities, guided by four strategic focus areas and a robust governance framework. In 2025, we strengthened community impact through sponsorship of a stage at Milton Keynes Pride, supported environmental and biodiversity projects with the Canal and River Trust with more than 50 employee volunteers, and joined Centrepoint’s annual Sleepout to raise funds and awareness for homelessness. To further encourage social responsibility, every employee is offered two additional days of paid leave to volunteer their time to good causes, fostering a culture of giving and community engagement.
