Company values
- At the centre of what makes our culture unique is authenticity. The word authenticity correlates to the Sanskrit word satya, which means that which is true, has value, endures and illuminates
- We are Authentic: Carl Jung: "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."
- We are Mindful: Thich Nhat Hanh: “The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”
- We think Upstream: Nei Jing: “Maintaining order rather than correcting disorder is the ultimate principle of wisdom. To cure disease after it has appeared is like digging a well when one feels thirsty or forging weapons after the war has already begun.”
- We Subtract: Lao Tzu: “To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day."
- We are Interdependent: African Proverb: Ubuntu: I am because you are

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Walking On Earth
Isabelle Pitman (Head of Operations & People)
- Our mission is to solve the global stress epidemic and to elevate human happiness. We know that being a diverse organisation is fundamental to us building a product that caters for all. We believe that diversity fuels creativity; enabling us to generate ideas and solutions to complex problems, in an ever-evolving and increasingly diverse world. We’re committed to ensure that our hiring practices are inclusive, structured and as objective as possible. We strive to make fair, robust and evidence-based hiring decisions
- Creating healthy work environments, where people feel engaged and can thrive, is at the heart of what we do. Engagement is key to driving impact. To be engaged, you must feel included and valued. We’re committed to creating an inclusive culture through encouraging expression, connection and a sense of belonging. Being a data driven business, we’re constantly evaluating our NPS score to identify where we can be doing more for our people. We offer unlimited holistic health days, meaning if you need a day away from work to priortise your health and wellbeing, you’re empowered to make that decision
- At Walking on Earth, we know that in order to build an organisation that celebrates diversity, we must have policies that are inclusive. We also know that when it comes to flexibility, the true meaning of the word lies in building a culture that does not discriminate if someone is a single parent, a primary carer or suffers from a chronic illness. With these principles in mind, we offer flexible working arrangements to suit individual needs. Our HQ is in London and we have an office that is available 5 days a week, with the whole team meeting weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays to connect in person. We always take into consideration the individual and do have some members of the team working fully remote in locations including Kenya and Belgium
- We’re conscious that our environment can have a huge impact on us and we’re always encouraging our people to take time out in nature. To help enable this, we offer the opportunity to work fully remote for 4 months of the year
