CRL Ltd’s employees continue to maintain a clear focus on what is important for the CRL project. Around half of the company’s employees are integrated within Link Alliance to support the delivery of the main tunnels and station work. CRL Ltd employees are working collaboratively with the Link Alliance to ensure the contracts are well supported and delivered on time for future users

As CRL Ltd employees are based in different offices, it is important that they regularly reconnect with colleagues from their home organisation. All employees are encouraged to attend a monthly CRL Ltd team briefing, where successes and milestones are acknowledged, and awards are presented to those who have gone above and beyond, as recognised by peers. The latest employee survey provided consistent results that reassures the CRL Ltd leadership team that the company’s engagement strategy is heading in the right direction. The survey results showed a vast majority agreed that CRL Ltd has a clear purpose, and our employees have a good understanding on how their own role contributes to the overall success of the project. CRL Ltd partnered with The Resilience Project to enhance its internal Wellbeing Programme. The Resilience Project focuses on supporting the mental health and wellbeing of employees by using evidencebased research to provide practical day-to-day strategies. A monthly Wellbeing newsletter, each one centered on different themes, shares relevant articles, stories and promotes local businesses that CRL Ltd employees can support. Wellbeing activities have included on-site mindfulness training, a financial workshop, health checks and a competitive step challenge. CRL Ltd recognises that wellbeing initiatives help people live healthier lives and create positive working environments where individuals can thrive. In 2021, a Resilience Workshop was held to acknowledge the difficulties of Covid-19 lockdowns. CRL Ltd employees had open and honest conversations about personal experiences and responding to lockdowns. Employees worked in teams to brainstorm and discuss strategies to effectively work from home and prepare for the continued impact of Covid-19 in the year ahead. CRL Ltd’s leadership team listened to feedback, which in turn informed plans to ensure teams continue to feel connected and informed.

CRL Ltd actively encourages its employees to seek relevant training to develop their skillset. CRL Ltd acknowledges it is a limited life project-based company and continuously looks to offer growth opportunities. Investing in our people strengthens our internal talent pipeline and lays a solid foundation for employee’s next career steps. It is important to retain skilled employees and attract key talent to work alongside our close-knit team.

CRL Ltd is proud of its people, who continue to demonstrate the company’s core values by fronting as a united team while doing the work for the good of everyone.
