Engaging and Supporting Our Employees

At De La Rue people are an important asset and engaging and supporting our workforce is crucial.

Employee Surveys

Regular employee surveys are conducted and all employees are invited to participate. The last survey was conducted in October 2014. The response rate was very good, with 83 per cent of employees choosing to respond to questions designed to test opinions and engagement across the organisation. The results of our surveys are analysed by a third party and shared with management teams across our sites so actions can be agreed and monitored.

Communication

Our internal communications programme includes:

• Regular briefings at supply chain sites and question boxes
• Conference calls by functional leadership teams
• Internal conferences
• Team briefings
• Newsletters
• CEO conference calls open to all employees which include question and answer sessions
• A CEO blog is published monthly and employees have the opportunity to post comments
• Intranet site
• Executive leadership team visits to all major sites to communicate strategy and values

We also communicate regularly with the unions representing our employees and with our UK and European works councils which are composed of elected employees, management representatives and employee nominated full time trade union officers.

Whistleblowing

Our Whistleblowing procedures enable employees who have concerns about the application of the Code of Business Principles or working practices to raise them either internally or anonymously through an independently run telephone helpline: De La Rue CodeLine.
