Boundarylessness means we embrace the global nature of our business and encourage people to work collaboratively across business units, hierarchy, functions and geography. We seek to break down barriers between organizations and encourage our people to support one another, and develop positive partnerships with customers and suppliers.

Valuing Our People means we put the highest priority on recruiting, developing and retaining outstanding people. We recognize and reward achievement and empower staff at all levels to maximize their potential and contribution within a work environment based on respect and open and honest communication.

We monitor the progress of each division in embedding the values in its processes. Senior executives are assessed on their values leadership and all employees are evaluated on how well they are living the valuesas part of the annual Personal Development Plan process.

Within the Workplace

Diversity and Inclusion

Our parent company, RELX Group, is passionate about making a positive impact on society and customers through our unique contributions as a business including access to information, advance of science and health, protection of society, promotion of the rule of law and access to justice, and fostering communities. We are fully committed to creating a fair and equitable work environment for our people and in all the countries and territories in which we operate we seek to comply with local employment and equality laws.

We want LexisNexis to be a great place to work, where our employees feel valued, have equal opportunities and pay equality, regardless of their gender, gender identity, national origin, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age or disability status.

Diversity and Inclusion are important to our future. We need the engagement of people from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and ideas to achieve real innovation for our customers around the world.

We promote Employee Resource Groups, which enable the celebration of diversity to be expressed in meaningful ways. They are independent, voluntary networks of employees who share common interests. The groups help drive diversity initiatives, community involvement and promote career development through mentoring, workshops, leadership speakers and external networking.

Recently, our parent company, RELX Group, signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles, a joint initiative of the UN Global Compact and UN Women, which aims to help companies empower women and promote gender equality. In the year, we mapped out existing practices relative to the WEPs including a professional mentoring program, pairing executives with high-potential women.

Pay Philosophy and Parity

Our reward philosophy aims to support the company’s ability to attract, motivate and retain high performing employees. Our reward principles are underpinned by external equity, internal equity and pay for performance.

We follow rigorous internal processes of one over one approvals and carry out internal audits to ensure pay parity for employees doing the same or similar work in a geography. Additionally, we have a whistle-blower process via an internal hotline to ensure that any issue can be reported without prejudice.

Our Commitment

We are committed to following all local employee legislation, regulations and laws.

Health and Safety

"Valuing our people" is a LexisNexis core value evident in our approach to workforce health and safety issues. Rather than viewed as a compliance burden, health and safety is seen as essential to the welfare and productivity of our people. The importance of employee health and safety is addressed in the Reed Elsevier Code of Ethics, to which all LexisNexis employees are subject. This commits us to provide a safe workplace for all employees.

The Code states that, "...in addition, there are laws and regulations that impose responsibility on Reed Elsevier to safeguard against safety and health hazards."

Communication on health and safety issues is part of this commitment. We consult with employees globally on health and safety issues through staff and work councils and we have established a Health and Safety Champions network to discuss policies andbest practices.
