Our people commitment

Performance that's rewarded

Know what’s expected. Make an impact. Be recognised for it.

At Janus Henderson, we want everyone to understand what great performance looks like, how their contribution makes a difference, and how performance connects to recognition, reward and opportunity.

Know what great performance looks like


We set expectations around the outcomes you deliver, the contribution you make to our clients and strategy, and how you demonstrate our values.

What you deliver

Your goals and contribution to 
our strategy.

The impact you make

The difference your work makes for clients, your team and the firm.

How you deliver

The behaviours and values you demonstrate along the way.

Your contribution should be recognised


Recognition happens in different ways - from a simple thank you in the moment to celebrating exceptional contribution and achievement.

Peer recognition

Colleagues recognise great work and collaboration through Thank You Thursday, team wins and shout-outs.

Manager recognition

Regular feedback, coaching and acknowledgement of your impact in meetings, town halls and performance conversations.

Promotions

When you deliver and demonstrate impact, you’ll have the opportunity to take on greater responsibility and progress your career.

Career opportunities

Stretch assignments, strategic projects and leadership experiences that build your skills and broaden your impact.

Internal mobility

Explore new teams, functions and locations. We make it easier to find opportunities and shape the career that’s right for you.

Total rewards

A competitive rewards package that includes pay, annual incentives, benefits, wellbeing support and long-term financial security.

We believe in pay for performance


Performance should make a difference to your reward.

Our compensation philosophy is designed to recognise and differentiate performance. Reward decisions consider your contribution and impact, alongside team and firm performance and external market data.

Differentiation in pay

We recognise individual contribution and differentiate reward for performance, alongside performance of our teams and the firm.

Market analysis and benchmarking

We benchmark compensation externally to help us remain competitive.

Transparent communication

We believe in being open about how we approach pay. We have regular compensation philosophy training sessions run by our Chief People Officer.

Total rewards experience

Our total rewards approach goes beyond pay, bringing together competitive compensation, benefits, wellbeing support and opportunities to invest in your brighter future.

Strong performance should create opportunity


Your performance should take you somewhere.

We invest in people who deliver impact. Strong performance can create opportunities to build new skills, broaden your experiences, take on greater responsibility and progress your career.

Your impact drives
our success.


At Janus Henderson, we celebrate contribution, invest in potential and reward the people who help build brighter futures.

See the next commitment
