Career Mobility at Multiverse: FY25 Update

Career Mobility at Multiverse: FY25 Update
Life at Multiverse
Serena Vaughan, People Enablement and Career Mobility Lead

We partner with over 1,500 of the world’s leading companies to build the critical skills their people need for the future, focusing on the AI, data, and technology capabilities that drive transformation. We believe this is the most direct path to unlocking both business growth and profound economic opportunity for people.

Our mission is brought to life internally through our Career Mobility strategy. It’s our commitment to our own team, built on the same principles we champion externally. Career Mobility is how we drive high-performance, create clear development pathways, and enable Multiversers to become their most AI-enabled selves.

Career Mobility 2.0

When we launched our Career Mobility strategy, we identified gaps in our approach to Diversity and Inclusion. As a result, our focus in 2024-2025 was mastering the tactical layer - specifically, further improving our performance and development ecosystem, and strengthening our culture of belonging.

Career Mobility represented an evolved approach, where equitable principles were embedded into our people strategy, instead of existing alongside it - to improve outcomes for all employees, including those from under-represented backgrounds, as a result.

For 2025-2026, we’ve simplified our framework to focus on two pillars, Empowered Careers and Empowered Culture.

Where is Multiverse today?

Our Data:

We focus primarily on collecting data related to characteristics which are protected under the law. As a result, our current focus areas are gender, ethnicity, disability (and neurodiversity), sexuality, religion and belief, and age. We also collect additional data including socio-economic status (social mobility), armed forces status and history, and parental and caregiving status because we believe this data is important in assessing our policies, processes, and benefits. The data in this report is a reflection of Multiverse as of July 2025.

Gender

49% of our population identify as women, surpassing the 29% of women in the UK tech sector, and 28% of women in US tech.

We know that one of the key drivers of our gender pay gap is representation of women at Director and above levels. 45% of our Director+ employees identify as women and 50% of our external hires at this level were women in FY25.

Since April 2024, we have appointed a new COO, CFO, both of whom are women, and appointed our Chief of Staff & Chief Performance Officer to the C-Suite team. This means our Executive team is currently gender balanced, which is something we are proud of. To put this in context, women occupy 43% of board positions and 35% of Leadership roles at the FTSE 350 level (source).

Ethnicity

56% of our global employees identify as White, compared to 68% in April 2024 - while 26% of employees identify as being from an underrepresented ethnic background vs 32% in April 2024. We attribute these shifts being primarily due to new joiners not completing our voluntary HRIS survey - something which we’re actively working to improve.

Despite this, we remain in-line with the UK Tech industry, where 25% of employees identify as being from an under-represented background. 7.5% of our employees identify as Black, compared with 5% in UK tech, however 9% of our employees identify as Asian which is below the 18% average in UK tech.

Our hiring data shows that our employee base reflects the diversity of our applicant pool, and that there are no stages in our recruitment process where we see disproportionate drop-out rates.

Sexuality

We’re proud that 13% of our employees identify as LGBTQ+, increasing from 12% in April 2024.

A comparative data set for sexuality was unavailable.

Disability & Neurodivergence

Our declaration rate for disability has significantly improved since April 2024, meaning around 5% of our workforce identifies as having a disability (physical, mental health, or learning-related). While this is just below the average of 6% in UK Tech, this has increased from 3% in our previous report.

Separately, almost 15% of our employees identify as neurodivergent. This is significantly above the 3% reported by UK Tech employers and is in line with the UK population figures.

Career Mobility in Action:

Case Study: Count Me In

In our first Career Mobility report, we identified that our voluntary employee census did not capture the information we needed, and that the majority of our employees had not self-declared.

To address this, in 2024, we refreshed the voluntary diversity questions we ask employees, to ensure we were in line with best practice and only collecting relevant and useful data. We now ask 11 global questions, with 3 additional UK-specific and 2 additional US-specific questions. This was a rigorous process, involving external research and benchmarking, and consultation with employees.

At the same time as refreshing our question set, we launched Count Me In, a campaign which aimed to increase declaration rates by educating employees on why we ask these questions and sharing in detail how the data is used. In the two-week campaign period, our average declaration rate increased from 46% to 65% - a result we are incredibly proud of and hope to build on. Already, this campaign has positively impacted employees; for example, we have increased our UK paid secondary partner leave (paternity leave) from 4 weeks to 6 weeks for employees with over two years tenure, the business case for which was supported by Count Me In data.

We’ve also since aligned the voluntary questions we ask in the recruitment process to align with our new internal survey as well.

Case Study: Lift All Boats

In line with our new mission of ‘equipping the workforce to win in the AI era’, we launched Lift All Boats in Q2 as part of our journey to enable every Multiverser to become the most AI-enabled version of themselves.

The first building block for this was Everyday AI, 90-minute interactive hands-on sessions, where the average attendee saves 4 hours/week on their work This session is built for those new to or experimenting with Gemini - no prior AI knowledge is assumed. Our expert coaches work with participants to show different prompting techniques and tailored use cases to help employees think about how they can start applying AI to their work.

This was followed by AI Skills Accelerator (AISA), a custom, 12-hour, 4 module AI course hosted in our Learning Platform and delivered by our expert coaches/instructors, as well as further Everyday AI sessions covering AI automations, NotebookLM and Advanced Gems. AISA was built for Multiversers looking to build their knowledge of AI, learn how to prompt effectively and understand how to implement data in their usage of AI and ultimately augment their ways of working at Multiverse.

To date (Oct ‘25), 537 and 184 Multiversers have taken part in Everyday AI and AISA respectively, with an average increase in Gemini usage of 24% above the rest of the business.

Case Study: ERGs at Multiverse

As well as equitable policies, processes, and practices, building an inclusive culture is a key focus for Multiverse because we know this enables and inspires our people to perform.

We currently have four ERGs:

  • Black@Multiverse
  • Disabilities@Multiverse
  • LGBTQ+@Multiverse
  • Women@Multiverse

Everyone is welcome to join our ERGs and participate in ERG initiatives, even if they do not identify as part of the community the ERG represents. MV ERGs have held 15 global events ranging from ‘Irrational Ways to Influence People’ to ‘The ABCs of LGBTQ+’, ‘A Fireside Chat with Financial Adviser and Author Bola Sol’ and ‘Championing Neurodiversity’.

Alongside events, ERGs have collaborated with the People team on key projects. Feedback from our Women@Multiverse ERG led to a complete refresh of our maternity leave process, including a new internal page with detailed checklists for employees and managers to use before, during, and after leave, as well as a new ticketing system to reduce pain-points for mothers and birthing parents.

What’s Next?

We are continuing to embed Career Mobility further into our People team strategy, for example:

  • Employee consultation as part of the scoping phase of relevant projects, such as the Manager Success Series, where ERG members were among a pool of employees invited to take part in a pilot group, and our launch of Operating Principles, where ERG members have taken part in focus groups to support us in launching and embedding these critical behaviours.
  • Continuing to Lift All Boats and bring AI opportunities to Multiversers, through:
    • Bespoke AI onboarding, tailored to where new joiners are in their AI journey.
    • An internal Multiverse cohort, completing a real MV AI apprenticeship.
    • Creating an AI SWAT team to help teams across Multiverse build scaleable, effective AI solutions to real business problems.
    • Introducing certified AI Builders internally, who can become the AI experts in their teams and have additional training around AI governance and ethics, as well as technical training.

We believe that by driving systemic improvements over the long term, we can create lasting impact for our employees and win as a business. Career Mobility provides the structured, equitable framework we need to build an inclusive, high-performing and resilient organisation, which is truly AI-first.

Multiverse's playbook for embedding data literacy

Team Multiverse

As we learned, successful AI implementation doesn't start with models—it starts with data. For any organisation aiming to harness the full power of AI, establishing the right data foundations and culture is paramount. AI is only as intelligent as the data it is trained on.

Here are three core pillars for building a robust data foundation and culture ready for the AI transformation:

The agility vs. scalability challenge

One of the biggest data challenges in an AI transformation is finding the right balance between agility and scalability. Since AI is a rapidly evolving technology, moving fast often means experimenting quickly, even if initial methods aren't scalable.

  • Embrace agility for experimentation: A successful AI strategy involves enabling experimentation and allowing teams to try new things without immediately requiring a massive, fully developed data pipeline. This might mean starting with simpler, non-scalable methods to quickly prove a concept.
  • Scale for sustainability: Once a concept is proven, the key is to transition to scalable solutions. An effective strategy involves doing both—experimenting quickly and building scalable structures—by knowing when to do one and when to do the other.

Building a data-first culture

Formal training is essential for building data literacy. However, training alone is not enough; success hinges on integrating data into the very DNA of the organisation.

  • Consistency is key: A strong data culture means data is part of the day-to-day language and ways of working. Key metrics and definitions must be clear and consistently used across all settings, including meetings and documents.
  • Empowering the whole organisation: Effective AI implementation requires giving data access to everyone, not just data scientists, and teaching them how to use it. Upskilling the entire organisation ensures the best possible use is made of the data.
  • The consumption shift: As companies embrace AI, the way people and machines consume data changes. While dashboards were once common, organisations now increasingly need data formats that machines can easily read, such as APIs. Consistency in definitions is critical for trusting AI to correctly interpret the data and provide answers in natural language.
  • Security and Compliance: The foundation of a trustworthy data strategy is ensuring that data is handled securely and responsibly. We demonstrate this commitment to our clients and apprentices, ensuring their sensitive information is handled with the highest level of care. Multiverse has achieved SOC 2 Type 1 certification, a result of third-party audit from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, confirming our internal controls exceed the necessary, rigorous standards.

Data as your competitive advantage

The most advanced AI applications are widely available to virtually everyone. What truly differentiates a company and drives value is its proprietary data, and what they build with it.

  • Unlock internal value: Well-structured, proprietary data can unlock powerful AI solutions. For example, taking unstructured data, structuring it into a knowledge graph, and sharing it can provide valuable insights for customers.
  • Move ahead of the pack: If a company wants to build something truly differentiated and make a real difference, it must connect AI to its unique internal data. The sooner an organisation commits to structuring and leveraging its data, the sooner it will gain a competitive edge.

By focusing on structuring data, fostering a company-wide data culture, and strategically balancing speed and sustainability, any organisation can build the solid foundations necessary to deliver powerful and effective AI transformation.

Multiverse and Palantir launch a strategic partnership to accelerate tech adoption

Multiverse and Palantir launch a strategic partnership to accelerate tech adoption
News
Team Multiverse

The rapid evolution of AI and data is creating an urgent demand for a digitally skilled workforce. At Multiverse, our commitment is to equip the workforce to succeed in this new era. We achieve this not through solitary effort, but through strategic alliances that unlock transformative value for our clients and drive market acceleration.

Our newly announced partnership with Palantir exemplifies this philosophy in action. Together, we’re building Federated Data Platform (FDP) apprenticeship programmes for the NHS, equipping staff with the skills needed to improve patient care and operational efficiency. It provides a model for how software and skills work together to deliver real-world impact at scale.

The strategy: Aligning to accelerate enterprise adoption

Multiverse deliberately seeks partnerships that solve the critical skills challenges facing British institutions. We focus on becoming the essential enablement layer for major technology platforms.

1. Maximising platform investment

Technology is only as powerful as the people using it. Large-scale digital transformation initiatives often struggle due to a skills gap. Multiverse’s partnerships are designed to close this gap, ensuring clients realise the full potential of their technology investments.

  • Solving a critical need: The collaboration with Palantir addresses one of the UK’s most significant tech initiatives: the NHS's digital transformation. It’s a commitment to enhancing staff training to support the implementation of the FDP.
  • The full-stack solution: Palantir provides the proprietary Foundry platform and data analytics command, while Multiverse provides the bespoke, FDP-specific apprenticeship programmes tailored to a diverse range of NHS roles, from analysts to clinical staff. This creates a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for workforce transformation and platform adoption.

2. Driving measurable, mission-critical impact

Our partnerships are structured to drive tangible results where they matter most. We believe collaborations must directly impact the client's mission. For the NHS, this means:

  • Focus on applied learning: The new programmes focus on practical, applied learning to help NHS organisations implement the FDP directly into their work.
  • A proven track record: We leverage Multiverse's proven capabilities in digital skills training, having already upskilled more than 100 NHS trusts. This history gives our partners confidence in our ability to scale impact.
  • Real-world outcomes: The ultimate goal is clear: by investing in the workforce, the NHS will reap benefits like improved operational workflows, more efficient resource allocation, and a tangible impact on patient health.

Expanding commercial horizons

For Multiverse, these partnerships are a key component of our commercial growth strategy, significantly expanding our market opportunity and reinforcing our position in the enterprise learning space.

The strategic decision to integrate our training with platforms like Palantir's Foundry positions Multiverse as an essential partner for technology providers seeking to accelerate user skill and adoption. This strategy ensures that as major enterprises continue to invest in core AI and data infrastructure, Multiverse is there to ensure their human capital keeps pace. This is a significant step toward unlocking the full potential of AI.

Multiverse, the AI upskilling platform, and Palantir, a leading provider of AI-enabled software, are partnering to upskill staff on the use of the NHS Federated Data Platform (FDP) across the NHS. Together, the organisations will launch new, FDP-specific apprenticeship programmes, equipping staff with the critical AI and data skills needed to improve patient care and operational efficiency.

The NHS FDP, which is supplied by Palantir, connects vital data which is currently stored in separate systems, enabling staff to access the information they need in one safe and secure environment, and use it to improve how they work and deliver care for patients. It is currently delivering benefits such as more operations and quicker discharge in 77 NHS Trusts, with a further 73 signed up to the programme, along with 41 Integrated Care Boards.

This strategic partnership will leverage Multiverse’s proven capabilities in digital skills training to help NHS staff unlock the full potential of the NHS FDP to increase operations, improve care, drive up efficiency and drive down waiting lists. It marks a commitment to putting staff training at the heart of FDP implementation and broader healthcare data initiatives for patient benefit.

“To truly unlock the power of the NHS Federated Data Platform, the NHS needs a workforce that is confident and skilled in using data and AI,” said Euan Blair, Founder & CEO at Multiverse. “This partnership isn't just about implementing new technology, it's about investing in the people who will use it every day to make a tangible difference to patient care. We're proud to be a part of this crucial step in the NHS's digital evolution, deepening our existing relationship with the NHS.”

"The NHS FDP is already improving care for patients while cutting paperwork for doctors and nurses,” said Louis Mosley, Executive Vice President, UK and Europe at Palantir. “It has delivered 80,000 additional operations and reduced discharge delays by 15 per cent, while the Government is forecasting that it is on track to deliver £150 million of benefits each year by the end of the decade.”

“Now we need to double down on training to keep driving up the number of NHS staff who are trained on the technology – and this partnership will be central to that.”

Multiverse and Palantir will collaborate to create a suite of new apprenticeship programmes featuring training on the FDP, with the first cohorts launching in February 2026. The curriculum will be tailored to the unique needs of a diverse range of NHS roles, including analysts, administrators, managers and clinical staff. With a focus on practical, applied learning, the programmes will help NHS organisations implement the FDP directly into their work.

By further investing in the skills of its workforce, the NHS will reap the benefits of its technological investments, leading to improved operational workflows, more efficient resource allocation, and a tangible impact on patient health. This partnership represents a significant step towards unlocking the full potential of AI and data to support the NHS and its mission to deliver world-class care.

As other People leaders scramble to compete for a scarce pool of highly skilled external AI talent, we have fundamentally shifted our approach to talent development to focus on building our own AI-ready workforce internally.

The shift: Hiring for AI will, not just skill

We recently launched a new hiring framework that focuses on assessing a candidate’s interest in AI. Why? Because we don't want to miss out on brilliant talent just because they haven't had the opportunity to engage with AI tools in their previous roles.

Our framework assesses candidates’ current level of AI competence through a series of questions and tasks built into our hiring process, matching them to one of four levels of AI maturity. The only group we exclude from hiring are those who demonstrate no will towards learning about AI. Everyone else, we’re confident we can equip with the necessary skills to fully adopt AI.

Bespoke onboarding: Building AI skills

This commitment to developing talent continues the moment a new hire joins. We have committed to our employees that they will become the most AI-powered versions of their profession.

Based on their assessed AI maturity, new hires are placed into a custom onboarding programme, receiving more than 20 hours of training in their first three months.

Demonstrable ROI: Quantifying the impact

Our internal upskilling isn’t just a feel-good initiative: it delivers measurable business impact. Last year, we grew our revenue per employee by 37% through strategic investments in AI and a cultural transformation to enable it.

We track several key outcomes, starting with tool usage. We’ve been able to demonstrate that those who engage with our AI upskilling programmes use our AI tools much more frequently than those who don't: for example, they log 73% more Gemini interactions.

We also look for impact stories, quantifying the results of the training, such as the reduced number of hours spent on certain activities or specific cost savings. Across our departments, we’ve logged more than 220 AI use cases created, representing how our team has reimagined their workflows to be more efficient and effective.

If you are a People leader looking to future-proof your organisation, the answer isn't a complex, expensive external hiring spree. The answer is empowering every member of your team with the skills and confidence to excel in the AI-driven future, right now.

Recent Multiverse analysis of more than 2,500 people on AI apprenticeship programmes shows that over two-thirds are not in roles traditionally associated with tech. With AI learners with job titles like nurses, fundraisers, librarians and supply chain managers, we are helping to forge a new definition of ‘AI talent’.

This is the fifth piece in our series hearing from Multiverse's AI apprentices, based in varied jobs around the country. These learners are part of this emerging class of AI jobs - the 'invisible' AI workforce.

Birmingham is one of the top ten AI talent hotspots outside of London, according to our analysis of our 2,500+ strong AI apprentice base.

Read on to hear more about Birmingham-based startup employee Baljinder’s story.

Reducing stock waste at a nutrition company

For a growing nutrition business like Rem3dy Health, effective inventory management is critical, but a commercial ERP system can cost upwards of £70,000. Baljinder Singh, then a stock controller, was spending a full day each week manually tracking stock and updating spreadsheets.

Using skills from his AI apprenticeship, he designed and built a custom AI-powered dashboard that automates the entire process, creating a single, real-time view of all inventory. This has eliminated eight hours of manual work per week, improved accuracy, and reduced waste by providing a clearer picture of expiring stock.

Now Head of Supply Chain, a promotion earned through his initiative, Baljinder is expanding the project into a predictive tool that will function like a bespoke ERP system, saving the company tens of thousands of pounds and revolutionising its supply chain management.

Multiverse Operating Principles: The blueprint for winning in the AI Era

Multiverse Operating Principles: The blueprint for winning in the AI Era
Life at Multiverse
Team Multiverse

This is not a theoretical goal, it’s the driving force behind everything we do. Today’s workforce needs new skills to thrive, and without them, organisations and their employees will get left behind. We are going to transform both how our customers operate with AI, and crucially, how we operate with AI.

To do that, we’ve intentionally and strategically shifted our culture and established four new, highly actionable Operating Principles that define our standard of performance.

These principles aren’t just aspirational - they are embedded into how we work, how we hire, and how we measure performance at every level of the organisation. So if you’re joining the team or considering a role at Multiverse, be sure to read and understand how they might apply to your work.

The Operating Principles

These principles are an integral part of how we define high performance and potential. When we interview you, when we onboard you, and as you grow here - this is the standard we’ll measure against.

1. Solve for Customer Value

Every decision starts with: how does this create value for our customers?

We aren’t building Multiverse for ourselves. We’re doing it for the people who need and use the transformative upskilling that we make happen. Your work, regardless of your role, must connect back to our customers.

  • The Multiverse Standard: You define the customer problem and the value of solving it before you start work. You choose the path that creates the most customer value, even when it’s harder.
  • What we avoid: Measuring success by activity (features shipped) instead of customer outcomes (problems solved). Every workstream starts with a clear line of sight to the customer impact.

2. Drivers, Not Passengers

Be an owner, take accountability, and drive outcomes, while taking others along the journey.

We value accountability and proactively taking charge of your work, your career and the business’s success.

  • The Multiverse Standard:You don’t duck the hard conversations - instead, you “Bottom line it”, which means solving problems the right way, not the easy way.
  • What we avoid: Building for individual or department priorities over the business' best interest. You withhold bad news because it’s uncomfortable to deliver.

3. Be Decisive, Even in Ambiguity

Be bold: don’t stifle innovation through a fear of making the wrong call. Speed is the strategy.

To thrive in the rapid development cycle of the AI era, we must operate with velocity, valuing swift action over total certainty.

  • The Multiverse Standard:We provide clarity on ownership so that everyone knows what decisions they can own. You embrace a test-and-learn mindset, finding opportunities to try out solutions and converting successful ideas into quality impacts. You course-correct quickly, and you challenge ideas early.
  • What we avoid: Letting the fear of reversing a "fast" decision stallmomentum. We don't begrudge ambiguity, because change is part of Multiverse; we see it as an opportunity to own a problem and design a solution.

4. AI to Deliver Outcomes

AI is our engine, not an add-on. We become the defining case study for our customers.

This principle complements our ongoing transformation to being an AI-first business, ensuring we attract people that are AI-enabled, and willing to go on the upskilling journey to stay ahead of the curve.

  • The Multiverse Standard: You ask “How would AI do this?” before starting any process improvement. You rethink existing problems as opportunities for design, not just resource, and explore AI solutions first. You demonstrate continual curiosity in AI, proactively upskilling,and always applying an ethical and compliant approach.
  • What we avoid: Failing to engage with our AI-first approach or resisting AI-driven changes to workflows. We don't treat AI as a convenient tool, but rather as the core redesign approach for everything we do.

This is our operational standard for career and company success in the AI era. These four principles are how we deliver on that promise. If you’re excited by the challenge of transforming how the world works, and if you can embody these behaviours in our hiring process and beyond, then you are ready to lead the charge of transforming the workforce for tomorrow - here at Multiverse.
