Our people and our
communities
A positive sign
Our work in the highways sector through Milestone
has benefitted from our relationship with Nuneaton
Signs, which provides social value by providing
meaningful employment for people with a wide range
of abilities, including more than 70 percent of people with
a registered disability. We appreciate the additional benefits that
using Social Enterprises such as Nuneaton Signs can bring,
and will be increasingly making use of companies such as this to
enable us to provide a social return on investment.
Train With Us
Working on national infrastructure is a technical and demanding field that requires high levels of
competence in some quite specific areas of expertise. Our Train With Us team manages the skills
and competency requirements for all our people with their Competency Cloud management system
database to record, manage and track the progress of each individual as they progress through their
careers and training.
Competency Cloud provides all our operating businesses with easy access to our comprehensive
system to monitor and manage training records and bookings. It is overseen by our Train With Us
team, which makes sure required courses are completed and upcoming expiries are monitored. All
our colleagues can access their own up to date training records and certificates from any device,
at any time and managers have access to a live training calendar showing upcoming courses and
availability. In this way, everyone can talk to their line manager about training opportunities and
discuss how their career progression can be developed through upskilling and training.
During this reporting year, we provided around three days training per person, with structured
development programmes which range from management and personal growth learning to more
technical, skills-based courses which, where appropriate, are recognised and certified by Energy
and Utility Skills Alliance (EU Skills).
