Wellbeing and benefits We believe that having a happy and healthy team is important to the success of the business. Our commitment to providing a safe and healthy working environment for our employees is achieved by: / Adhering to the appropriate health and safety standards / Providing a working environment that enables employees to work effectively and free from unnecessary anxiety, stress and fear / Ensuring employees can report inappropriate behaviour or concerns through the whistleblowing policy / Having appropriate family friendly policies We offer health benefits to all employees, and they also all participate in the Deferred Bonus and Long-term Incentive Plans, providing alignment with shareholders. The absentee rate for the year was 1.8%. There were no fatalities or work- related injuries during the year. The turnover of employees during the year was:
Training and development We want to encourage our employees to realise their full potential by giving them access to development and training opportunities. Employee development is based on the following key principles: / Development should be continuous; employees should always be actively seeking to improve performance / Regular investment of time in learning is seen as an essential part of working life / Development needs are met by a mix of activities, which include internal and external training courses, structured ‘on-the-job’ experience and through interaction with professional colleagues
We have an Employee Handbook which includes our study leave policy, which is a maximum of 15 days per annum, in addition to compliance policies such as whistleblowing, modern slavery and gifts and hospitality. All our employees have a formal performance appraisal on an annual basis, together with a mid-year review of their progress against objectives set at the start of the year. This year, the amount of training carried out by the team was 1.9%, based on the number of hours spent on training as a percentage of the total working hours of all employees. This year, members of the team have completed a cyber security awareness training programme.
