Making NEXT a more inclusive and supportive place to work.

Look out for an email from NEP landing in your email on 13th February with instruction for you to complete your journey.

What Makes You Unique?

Please check and re-complete your Personal Details.

We’d love to know more about you! Why? We want everyone to have a great experience working here, and we want our workforce to represent the communities we serve.

We’ve added and updated some of the drop-down options in your Personal Details page on NEP so you can tell us more about who you are and ensure your profile reflects you and your life today.

For every fully completed NEP profile, NEXT will donate £1 to the charity chosen by employees from the three available options. Donations will be made across all three charities based on individual selections. Please follow the link in your journey to select your chosen charity.

Who will be able to see my personal information?

A small number of dedicated people in our HR Data team will have access to the data. This is for the sole purpose of anonymised reporting. Your demographic personal details are not visible to anyone, including your line manager. If you choose to update disability information to support workplace adjustments, this will be visible only to your line manager and appropriate support teams and we will always protect it.

How will my personal information be used?

Leaders and the HR Team will review the anonymised reports created by the HR Data Team to learn more about people’s experiences of working here.

Reports will help us identify things like:

The number of job applicants who have a disability
How salary review compares across genders
If we're inviting people from all ethnic backgrounds to our leadership training
That performance scores are fair for our lesbian, gay and bisexual colleagues

Haven't I already provided this information?

You will have shared some of this before. Some options may be pre-filled based on your previous selections.

Don't worry, nothing you've entered before has been lost. Once you update your profile with the new options, your latest info will automatically replace the old data. Until then, your current details are still in NEP.

How to re-complete my profile on NEP?

You’ll receive an email from NEP with a link to a ‘Journey’ to guide you through updating your details.

Do I have to provide this data?

No, but we’d really like everyone to, so we can make where you work a great place for everyone.

If you’re unsure about providing all your information, please select ‘Prefer not to say.’

How long do I have to complete this?

You’ll have 6 weeks until 27th March to review and update your Personal Details.

Your NEP journey will include clear instructions and a direct link to help you complete the task quickly and easily.

You'll recieve reminder emails directly from NEP until you have completed it.

Why does this matter?

For us to make the best decisions for you, we need to understand what makes each of us unique. By sharing your demographic and disability details, you’re helping us build a more inclusive and supportive workplace for everyone.

This information helps us to:

Get a clearer picture of our teams to make sure things are fair for everyone.
Find and fix anything that gets in the way of people feeling included.
Make sure everyone has a fair chance to grow and move up, no matter their job.
Help our Employee-Led Communities better support their members.
See how we compare to other retailers and the communities we serve.

Will I be asked to update this again?

Things in your life will change so we'll ask you to check your information is up to date from time to time. That helps us to make the best decisions to support colleagues.

I provided this information in the Your Voice Counts (YVC) Engagement Survey, why do I need to do this again?

The Your Voice Counts Survey is about how you feel working here. WorkL runs this so it's focused on your anonymous feedback.

Updating your Personal Details is about who you are. This helps us see our teams and makes sure that things are fair for everyone.

I have more questions who can I talk to?

You're welcome to get in touch with your HR Team.
