Our values are the common thread that shapes the way we work with each other and our clients, how we celebrate success and how we go about achieving our mission to provide the measurement capability that underpins the UK’s prosperity and quality of life. They form part of the recruitment and selection process; you can expect that we will ask you competency-based questions in interviews, specifically linked to our values.
