Our People
Central to our culture is the value we place on our employees, whom we seek to support through an employment relationship founded on fairness, equity, consistency, and trust.
People are recognised as crucial to the success of the Group. Accordingly the Group has continued to adopt and refine its human resources (HR) management strategy, focusing on work organisation, employee development, performance management and management development. The aims of the strategy remain to strengthen employee relations, generate greater flexibility and maximise performance from the Group’s teams.
The Group remains committed to equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of race, gender, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or background, and seeks to provide opportunities for all individuals to develop to their full potential. There are policies and practices in place which ensure fair opportunities in respect of employment, entry to employment, benefits, training, placements and promotion. Those policies and practices, and our Code of Business Conduct for employees, have been supplemented during the financial year by the development and roll-out of comprehensive e-learning courses aiming to facilitate diversity and counteract discrimination across the Group.
The Group also acknowledges Lord Davies’s report on ‘Women on Boards’ and the subsequent Financial Reporting Council consultation ‘Gender Diversity on Boards’, both of which are addressed by the e-learning courses and will also be taken into account in the formulation of future HR policy. The Group already supports initiatives aimed at raising the profile of civil engineering as a career among women.
