People and culture
At Vodafone we want to be a trusted partner to connect for a better future.
That’s who we aspire to be. To get there we must be restless, passionate about improving the lives of our customers, colleagues, and communities. We are always open to new things, and curious to create solutions that our customers will love. It starts with us. No matter where we work in Vodafone, we act as one. Together, we create a place where everyone can truly be themselves and belong.
Our commitment to inclusion is embraced at every level and embedded in our culture (the ‘Spirit of Vodafone’), code of conduct, and business principles.

The Spirit of Vodafone
The Spirit of Vodafone outlines the beliefs we stand for and the key behaviours that help us to make our strategy and purpose reality. Our Spirit underpins the successful and sustainable delivery of our transformation.
Future-ready skills
The transformation into a new generation connectivity and digital services provider requires new skills and capabilities in our organisation, which we continue to accelerate through our skills programme. All employees have access to update their skills profile to support skills development. This year, we started to deliver Skill Accelerators and Skill Labs for critical skill areas such as agile project management, software engineering, automation, and cyber security.
Our technical career path supports the attraction, retention and development of our technical experts and sits alongside a leadership career path. This is designed to provide more formal ways to recognise and reward, giving choice in career direction.
We recognise that we are at our best in diverse teams in an inclusive environment and therefore are focussing on developing strong leadership and people skills to empower people across our organisation.
Digital & personalised experience
Our people experience and strategy execution is powered by our advanced digital tools and systems, to deliver simplicity, efficiency and an enhanced experience across people processes and the people lifecycle. We have established SuccessFactors as the single foundational platform and integrated new tools and apps such as Medallia, DocuSign, our diversity data profile page, and domestic violence portal.
We have an AI-powered integrated platform in place (Grow with Vodafone) that optimises the recruiter, hiring manager and candidate experience and supports reskilling at scale. We also provide a simple and personalised new joiner experience through an evolved Onboarding solution. To further enable a seamless people experience and standardised usage of people data and insights, we continue to operate with other digital solutions including a strategic workforce planning tool, a HR data lake, and an evolved HR chatbot available in multiple markets, that will continue to scale.
