Culture & progression

Creating the right culture for our team members to grow​

Our culture & values

Creating the right culture for our team members to grow and develop is so important for us to be able to achieve our business goals.

This is something that we are building everyday through the work of our Culture Committee, our commitment to becoming a certified Inclusive Employer, as well as our internal processes for recruiting and retaining team members who embody our values.

Put clients first

Our business is built around our clients. We’re proud to have long-lasting relationships by understanding and supporting them every step of the way.

Lead with quality

Our commitment to quality is at the heart of our culture. Whatever we do, we do it properly. When faced with the choice, we always prioritise quality over quantity.

Set the standards

We’re clear, open and honest with our clients, and with each other. We don’t wait for others, but set the standards for others to follow.

“They want you to be the best you can be, so there’s a real focus on moving on with the latest technologies and providing the training and support so you progress at the same pace.”

Things we live by

CMC Markets

Stand with our clients

We're as passionate about trading as our clients, and we’re here to help them make the most of every opportunity. In everything we do, we put our clients at the centre.

CMC Markets

Be human

We’re personable and approachable. We know the value of direct interaction and make ourselves available to talk in person.

CMC Markets

Take ownership

We make decisions as accountable individuals, not as committees. We do our research and listen with intent to drive improvements.

CMC Markets

Be bold

We’re not afraid to challenge ourselves or the status quo and we’re always looking for ways to improve. If things don’t work: we learn, iterate and succeed.

CMC Markets

Work as team

To get the best results, you have to experiment, and that’s something that’s actively encouraged within our marketing department. When a marketeer has the budget and support to try new things, that makes every day really exciting.

CMC Markets

Keep it simple

In a complex industry, we always strive to keep things as simple as possible. We’re honest, reliable and straight-talking.

CMC Markets

Focus on impact

We focus on solving the most important problems that will deliver the biggest impact. We use our time and money wisely and stay focused on the end goal.

Growing your career

We proactively support your career progression and development through a number of initiatives.

Professional development

We want to ensure that everyone who works at CMC Markets has the skills and confidence to perform at their best, and keeps progressing as quickly as the world around us. That’s why we have a significant training budget and provide a wide range of learning and development resources, ranging from on-the-job coaching and mentoring to webinars and access to our LinkedIn Learning partnership. We encourage attendance at relevant external events and, where appropriate, sponsor our people to undertake formal, industry recognised training courses and achieve professional qualifications.

Feedback

We encourage open communication throughout our business and recognise the importance of regular feedback.  Our appraisal process exists to improve organisational efficiency by ensuring that our people perform to the best of their ability and develop their potential which in turn leads to improved business performance.  Outside of this process we encourage line managers to carry out regular one-to-one sessions.

Apprenticeship levy (UK only)

Apprenticeships enable us to develop highly-skilled employees, whether that be providing a new opportunity for people to join our business or re-training our existing people.  Develop a wide range of personal and technical skills through a number of programmes, which will enable you to take away a recognised qualification – you could even earn yourself a Degree, so why not learn whilst you earn!

We engage with all employees to capture what it means to work at CMC and how we want our employees to feel whilst at work. These principles not only unite us, they help us to recruit employees aligned to our ways of working.
