Working closely with our people

As a business, we’re continually looking at how we can improve the way we engage with employees and our ways of working. One of the key ways we can do this is through more employee input, which is why we launched the Employee Consultation Forum last year.

While our Employee Engagement Survey is an important tool in understanding your views in working here, with the business achieving an overall Group Engagement score of 79% last year, we want to do more. The forum, which has nominated colleagues from across the regions and GSC, represents a cross section of our business and provides input and feedback from a range of perspectives. With support from the Group Board, the forum will allow us to gather more employee input and add real value in areas like SHE, health and wellbeing, employee benefits and working conditions. The forum members have now attended two meetings, and will continue to meet at least three times a year to focus on these key areas and provide their feedback from around the business. Over the course of the meetings they’ve heard from a range of speakers, including COO Steven Boyes and Group HR Director Rob Tansey about the importance of the forum and objectives for the group. We look forward to keeping you updated on the Employee Consultation Forum and if you have any queries or questions for the forum group, please email them on employee.forum@ barrattplc.co.uk.
