The Revenue believes in the value of diversity. Our diversity and equality statement isn t just words we act on it and enforce it rigorously. Everyone working for the organisation is bound by values which support people s relations with each other, the way people work together and management and leadership. The working environment is informal, most offices are open plan and some have access to childcare facilities. Most people are eligible to work flexi hours which enables them to structure their working life around domestic responsibilities.
Some offices have a gym or sports facilities and most have social activities.
Everyone working in the Revenue is eligible to join the IR Sports Association. Formed in 1923, the IRSA s key objective is to support and encourage all kinds of sport, recreation and leisure activities for employees. Many of the activities are arranged on a regional or local basis, although a number of national competitions and events are organised, such as a Winter Sports Weekend and a Summer Sports Day. Until recently, the Inland Revenue was divided into 26 Executive Offices and a Head Office, but plans are well underway for a new Area Management structure. This has been introduced to help us make better use of resources and skills through greater specialisation and focus.
