“Almost 90% said that they clearly understand the goals of their job and that they collaborate well within their teams.

“However, only 64% of employees believe they receive appropriate recognition for a job well done. We are implementing initiatives across the business to improve how we show our appreciation for the hard work of our people.

“We [do] recognise and reward strong performance. Our performance management system provides a framework for employees to set themselves stretching individual goals.

“These goals are linked to business objectives. Bonus payments and salary increases are linked to performance against these goals, and calculated against a combination of individual achievement and overall company performance.”
