Established as a data consulting firm, The Oakland Group has been instrumental in transforming and growing businesses by activating their data. With a client base that includes Network Rail, Vodafone, Yorkshire Water, and Hitachi Energy, The Oakland Group navigates complex data landscapes with measured expertise. However, its strength lies not only in its professional acumen but also in its commitment to its employees.
The Oakland Group is a vibrant hub of bright, interesting, and motivated individuals who are given every opportunity to explore their full potential. The organisation's focus on wellbeing, particularly mental health, is noteworthy. With initiatives such as 'chatty cafés', menopause support and suicide prevention, along with a dedicated Head of Wellbeing and mental first aiders, The Oakland Group ensures that their employees feel supported and heard.
To amplify employee engagement, The Oakland Group has developed four Communities that provide a platform for everyone to contribute to the success of the company and voice their feedback. Regular virtual Town Hall meetings keep employees updated on the company's progress and foster a sense of collective growth.
At the heart of The Oakland Group's culture are its five core values, which are championed in a specially commissioned handbook. These values underpin every action and decision within the organisation, with staff rewards and objectives linked to how individuals live these values. Moreover, an ethics panel ensures that prospective clients align with these values, demonstrating The Oakland Group's commitment to ethical practices.
