Promoting development

We are passionate about doing all we can to help our colleagues and local communities thrive – supporting inclusion, diversity and equal opportunities whilst recognising the role our energy solutions play in supporting the businesses and communities we serve.

2023 Highlights

Knowledgeable people are at the core of our business and are critical to our success. That's why we invest in developing skills for our business today and tomorrow and attract the trainees who will become our future technicians and managers.  

We use data and technology to give everyone access to learning to continually develop their knowledge and skills. In 2022, our colleagues completed 124,000 hours of training.

Listening to our employees helps us to focus our attention in the areas that matter most. We measure employee engagement annually, reviewing how we are performing and where we can do better. 

Mental health training is available to all employees as well as access to confidential free support on topics like nutrition and exercise, financial and legal issues, emotional support and life coaching.

Promoting development centres on seven key areas. 

Inclusion

We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment where people feel valued, respected and part of our global team.

People development

In our field of energy solutions, having a highly skilled team is crucial. That’s why we make significant investments in the development of our current and future workforce to enhance their capabilities.

Colleague engagement

Listening to our colleagues helps focus our attention on the areas that matter most. We regularly gather feedback through various routes, including one-to-ones, ‘all-hands’ meetings, leadership visits, all-company Q&A sessions, our online Microsoft Viva Engage community and our annual colleague engagement survey, Be Heard.

Health and wellbeing

We recognise the role wellbeing plays in keeping our teams safe, healthy, connected and motivated, increasing work satisfaction and performance while enabling people to live their lives to the fullest.

Human rights

As an international business, we recognise we have a responsibility for upholding and respecting human rights.

Suppliers

Through our sustainability framework, we work to provide sustainable solutions for our customers. Key to achieving this is working collaboratively with organisations that form our supplier network.

Community involvement

As a global business, we strive to create a positive social impact in our communities. We work closely with local schools, colleges and universities, engaging with students and inspiring them to join our team.

We are committed to providing safe and inclusive environment where people feel valued, respected and part of our global team. We are proud to hire people from all walks of life because we believe this richness of experience makes our company stronger.

We recognise it takes time and continued focus to achieve a truly diverse and inclusive organisation and are developing an inclusive culture through a framework of common practices which include:

• Building awareness, confidence and advocacy with our leaders
• Educating people on inclusion, biases and cultural preferences
• Embedding inclusion in policies and key people management practices
• Actively encouraging our people to speak up, share their experiences and views with the confidence that their voices will be heard
• Celebrating diversity within our business

Our goal is to increase the diversity of our teams, so they better represent our local communities.
