We employ tens of thousands of people, working across the UK and Ireland to support in sectors including education, defence, sports and leisure, and business and industry. We are a people-powered business, so attracting the best people and keeping them within our organisation is crucial to our success.
Our focus is on making every job a good one. We are part of a barrierless industry which means that you don’t need specific qualifications to join – we can offer skills training, as well as career opportunities and flexibility.
Last year, we launched Our Social Promise, an ambition to positively impact one million lives by 2030, from both within and outside the organisation, through job creation, education, training, community and charitable engagement. Part of this strategy includes the development of our people, and importantly creating a welcoming environment where everyone can thrive and reach their potential regardless of their background.
Investing
We’re investing in our talent and their skills for the future through apprenticeships and we’ve also had great success with our in-house Career Pathways programmes – offering learning, advice, mentoring and progression.
Creating an open and inclusive culture is really important to us. We have several employee networks that are run by colleagues, for colleagues. Last year, we launched our Ability network to encourage people with non-visible and physical disabilities to come into the workplace, develop and thrive.
Since launch, we have created strategic partnerships with organisations such as Steady Chefs, West Lea and Ambitious about Autism. This work complements our ‘Social Partner Hub’, which supports candidates who are facing barriers to entry into the job market, for example by ensuring that the hiring process is inclusive and caters to the needs of each applicant.
