Our People and Culture
Our people have always been, and continue to be, our top priority.
This year we have been focused on maintaining an engaged workforce. Our people strategy has been primarily engaged in the attraction and retention of talent and continued evolution of our collaborative and inclusive culture. We have worked to achieve this by:
- introducing a performance related bonus framework, which recognises and rewards high talent;
- supporting our community by partnering with the 10,000 Black Interns programme and the RISE programme at Kingston University;
- running a performance management training programme for all managers;
- implementing a mentoring framework to support the creation of a diverse talent pipeline; and
- introducing our first LGBTQ+, menopause and mental health first aid employee forums.
The board has continued to support the engagement framework and work has continued to ensure the activities within this framework have been implemented. This year, the activities have focused on evolving communication across the Group, embedding culture in all people practices and recognising and rewarding high talent. We will further develop and deepen these activities in 2025. Looking forward, we are committed to maintaining our healthy culture, which is focused on ensuring our employees are engaged, motivated, and committed to supporting the Group in achieving its goals. We are proud of our employees and our culture which is fully aligned with promoting the future success of the business.
