Employee engagement is critical to our success and effective communication throughout the business is vital in achieving this. We listen to employees and strive for continuous improvement; through frequent events, we encourage communication and innovation.
Our strategy, performance and business priorities are communicated via the annual CEO Roadshow, as well as our intranet sites, emails, and quarterly newsletters. TV screens at each site are also used as a tool for regular communication and our recently launched global business reviews enhance more of a cascade communication approach from leaders.
The recent addition of Yammer has further bridged the gap between employees throughout the pandemic, enabling all employees to share information of news in their department or business function with ease.
What we have done
Our quarterly pulse surveys provide all employees the opportunity to anonymously provide their feedback to executive and senior management regarding the business. Following each of these surveys, feedback is given to employees and initiatives based upon these results are formed.
We aim to work with and for the communities in which we operate, recognising our role as a major employer. We strive to contribute to our local economic, social and environmental sustainability. This year we continued with our charitable giving programme which aims to support our employees, their friends and families, alongside charitable organisations important to our communities. Our community programme is led from the bottom up rather than top down, which means each site is empowered to create their own initiatives to help benefit the charities and organisations that our employees care about most.
What we have done:
Cadillac completed the 2020 United Way plant wide challenge with 88% participation and raised $14,083.94 for our local communities. This challenge aims to support local communities to improve education, financial stability and health.
A review of our recognition programme will be carried out to ensure the programme remains aligned with what our employees deem valuable.
We will continue to provide training and development opportunities to our employees through our e-learning platform and numerous bespoke training courses.
The importance of clear communication has been highlighted in recent months and we will continue to keep all our employees up to date with relevant information and news. With people working from home now more than ever, our intranet site and updated IT infrastructure will help ensure this remains possible.
