Magnox Electric Ltd

In rising to the challenges of a fully competitive commercial environment, the quality and commitment of our people is paramount. As a valued asset, our employees represent a vital resource of interchangeable skills, experience and innovation. Our long-term success depends on our ability to attract, motivate, reward and retain employees who share our ambition for commercial achievement. We are also helping our customer, the NDA, with its goal of retaining core skills in the nuclear industry.

Our approach

A key element in delivering our plans and programmes of work is the active engagement of our entire workforce at all levels. We work hard to maintain a mature and positive relationship with both our employees and their representatives based on consistent, open and meaningful communications and underpinned by robust human relations processes and policies.

In meeting customers’ targets, we must develop and grow our resource of people, empowering them to seek innovative ways in which to continuously improve performance. We work in partnership with the trade unions to implement and manage changes required - whether it is development of new skills or internal mobility - to ensure consistent focused and sustained delivery of performance targets.

Employer of choice

We are committed to graduate recruitment and our excellent professional and personal development programme. We offer competitive benefits and incentive packages, which have enabled us to attract and retain high calibre employees. Family friendly policies, including career breaks and flexible working are also part of our policy.

Employee involvement

We value good working relationships with our employees to promote safety, quality and performance in all that we do. Our Target Achievement Scheme is an incentive based programme, amongst others, designed to engender shared success. As well as our extensive formal consultative process with employee representatives, we consult widely with employees affected by major business change. We also conduct employee opinion surveys to monitor views and to benchmark future progress.

Employee development

We invest significantly in training and development to enable employees to perform their jobs safely and effectively and to fulfil their potential. Our development programmes range from apprentice training, workplace development and team leader development through to high potential and senior management development programmes. Employees are encouraged to seek membership of professional bodies that support our business objectives.

Employee concerns

We always seek to deal responsibly and professionally with any genuine concern that employees express, from grievance through to allegations of serious malpractice. All concerns are investigated and effective policies are in place to deal with any complaint of discrimination, harassment or bullying.
