People
Our people are fundamental to the success of our business and key to satisfied customers. We aspire to be the employer of choice in our business sector.
Essential to achieving this is an engaged workforce where people feel that FirstGroup is a great place to work. Following our first Group-wide employee satisfaction survey in 2010 we are addressing areas for improvement. We have revised our Group vision and values to create a framework for a common identity across the company.
Recruitment, training and development are vital in finding the right people with the right skills for their roles. Our development programmes are therefore supported by lifelong learning provision which includes access to numeracy and literacy training.
Our recruitment and development programmes aim to build the diversity of our workforce, in line with our commitment to equal opportunity employer status.
The safety of our employees, customers and third parties is of great importance to us and we have a well-established safety management programme.
