In 2017 we put together our People Plan for the business which focuses on driving performance by connecting with our people and supporting their development with the aim of making this a great place to work.  The plan focuses on three key areas; employee engagement, development of our people and rewarding and recognising great performance.

It is our responsibility to ensure that we recruit and retain talented individuals who share our values and demonstrate the behaviours that help deliver the best levels of performance.  We are committed to providing annual reviews which allow individuals to explore their strengths and development opportunities with the aim of provided targeted development plans to help people grow and develop the skills they need to succeed.  This is a two way process which relies on a commitment from both the leadership team and the individuals to ensure that development goals are realised and achieved.

We actively seek feedback from our employees, both on an annual basis with our Employee Engagement survey and on an ongoing basis through our employee representatives and engagement ambassadors.  We understand the need for regular, honest and transparent communication and provide our teams with quarterly business updates to share our progress and our successes.
