Employees
Our policy is to communicate with employees via employee representation on works and staff committees and by regular briefing meetings conducted by senior management. A long-term view of the business is encouraged through the provision of defined contribution pension schemes and employee profit share schemes.
Equal opportunities
We are an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to being a successful, caring and welcoming place for all employees. We want to create a supportive and inclusive environment where our employees can reach their full potential, without prejudice and discrimination. We are committed to a culture where respect and understanding is fostered and the diversity of people’s backgrounds and circumstances will be positively valued.
Whistleblowing
We operate a ‘whistleblowing’ policy so that all employees are able, via an independent external third party, to confidentially report any malpractice or matters of concern they have regarding the actions of employees, management and Directors and any breaches of the Company’s Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy.
Health, safety and environment
Safety performance is measured through reported data on accidents, near misses and safety observations.
Safety maturity is measured against improvement targets for each operational site using a Safety Maturity Framework.
Performance is reviewed periodically by management and the Board.
Charity
As part of our ongoing Health and Wellbeing initiative, we continue to support local charities and employees who individually raise money or volunteer for charities.
Training
The training and development of our staff is crucial to the continuing success of the Company. Employees should have the appropriate skills and knowledge not only to ensure success in their roles but also for the fulfilment of their career potential.
The Company provides a range of training and development opportunities to its employees.
Modern slavery
The jurisdictions and markets in which we operate show that we have a low risk of exposure to human rights issues but our modern slavery policy can be found here.
For more information on how we performed this year, see our latest Annual report.
