Our People
Carillion is committed to attracting, developing and retaining excellent people. Through employment and community engagement, we support individuals, strengthen our business and contribute to society.
We have made a Skills Pledge Plan as part of our collaboration with the Learning and Skills Council’s National Employer Service. In this, we commit to actively encouraging and supporting employees with no formal qualifications to gain the skills and training that will meet their future employability and meet our business needs.
Through Carillion Training Services’ 18 construction training centres across the UK, we provide
courses not only for our employees, but also for the wider community. The legacy we leave local communities is a sustainable workforce with transferable skills, benefiting economic growth in those areas.
Attracting excellent people
The link between sustainability and recruitment is two-way: as a sustainable business we need to attract and appoint a wide and diverse range of people, and our record on sustainability itself has a positive impact on a candidate’s decision to join Carillion.
Developing excellent people
As a Group we spend £20m a year on training and development. Through the Carillion Academy, we offer a wealth of opportunities for people to reach their full potential. We have around 2,200 people on formal courses every month, plus a further 2,000 people on Carillion development programmes. Examples of what we offer to develop our people are as follows:
Retaining excellent people
As a sustainable business, we are committed to retaining people by rewarding, motivating and engaging with them. This includes listening to what people have to say and acting on it. Examples of some of the tools and initiatives in place to engage with our people are:
