Our team and culture

Y.O.U Underwear should be as empowering for the people who work here as it is for the people who buy our products and receive our donations.

Here’s how we’re making it a great place to work:

Flexible & remote working

To support our team to do their best work, have a good work-life balance, and juggle any unpaid caring commitments they may have.

Regular staff satisfaction surveys

We run regular staff satisfaction surveys to allow the team to give us honest feedback and identify ways we can improve the working environment.

Inclusive & accessible recruitment

We try to make job applications as inclusive as possible, with an anonymous application process and flexible interview styles to promote equal opportunities in our hiring processes.

Celebrating Together

Our entire team comes together, from gathering to celebrate our big wins, to aligning everyone for future plans and just to catch up! We also have an annual get together for Summer and Christmas, to celebrate everyone's hard work and the business' progress.
