STAFF VOICE. REGULAR FORUMS. GENUINE ACTION

Across the organisation we have a culture of continual improvement and listening to employees to create positive and meaningful change. We recognise that our staff have an important voice that wants to be heard, usually within departmental meetings.

At Pyroban we go a step further and each quarter, our Managing Director Steve Noakes shares breakfast with a group of employees (a different mix each time) to give them the opportunity to share ideas, thoughts and provide honest feedback both positive and negative.

The aim is to get the team to talk freely about what they like and the daily challenges. It has been a huge success and in many cases has helped to drive genuine change. It also gives employees a chance to get feedback about certain decisions and explain why they can (or can’t) do certain activities in the business.

Diversity

The health and wellbeing of our employees is an essential part of our daily culture along with the promotion of equality in the workforce, driven by diversity and inclusivity policies. All employees are treated with dignity and respect with equal employment opportunities given to all irrespective of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, maternity, marital status, family status, disability, age, or national origin.

In fact 50% of our leadership team is female and we have team members operating in different countries and from many different backgrounds.
