Today, Galliford Try employs 3,850 people, compared to 4,450 a year ago. Continuing to develop strategic human resources policies, underpinned by our commitment to the Investor in People standard, is our objective as we aim to be an employer of choice.
Our commitment to equal opportunities is designed to ensure that all our employees, regardless of race, gender, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or background, have the opportunity to develop their full potential within the Group.
We recognise the value of a diverse workforce and have policies and practices in place that provide a fair opportunity for everyone in respect of employment entry to employment, benefits, training, placement and promotion. These policies include a new Code of Business Conduct for employees, launched across the Group in February 2009. The number of voluntary leavers continues to decline and our churn rate has fallen 4 per cent to 12.3 per cent.
Plans for next year
For the next year, our focus will be to fully establish The Academy - a vehicle which ensures a structured and managed approach to career development; to identify new ways of learning (such as e-learning) and look to address some of the key people issues that the industry is facing, including diversity and equality.
