We rely on people both within and outside our business to deliver our business objectives. Valuing our people and partners is critical to ensuring our relationships flourish.
We are always seeking talented individuals to join the Redrow team and we are especially proud of our development programmes for young people. All our apprentices, trainees, graduates, and sponsored degree students go through structured bespoke programmes. Everyone is supported in their role through ongoing training which encourages professional development, whilst also promoting wellbeing through excellent support systems and wellbeing resources. You can find out more in our talent and trainee factsheet.
We provide a sustainability overview in our corporate inductions to all new employees. We also deliver Site Environmental Awareness Training (SEAT) to all our site teams and this is on the HS&E matrix. In addition we offer 10 modules to enhance further employees sustainability knowledge and skills.
Our sustainability team host regular internal webinars surrounding carbon and biodiversity to ensure all employee's receive the most up to date information on topic areas.
Training and development continue to be fundamental to the growth of our business with individuals given the skills and opportunities to realise their potential and fulfil their aspirations. This is demonstrated by more than 50% of our directors coming from internal promotions. And with 15% of our employees currently on structured training programmes this trend is set to continue. To support our career development programmes we have training facilities across the country, with centres in the Midlands, North West and in London.
At Redrow, we’re proud to attract some of the most promising graduates in the industry, but we know that getting a construction related degree is just the start. All of our graduates are put through a two-year programme, designed to show how what they learned at university is applied in real life, to ensure the highest levels of quality and health and safety are achieved on site.
We are the first and only housebuilder to achieve the Quality Mark from the British Institute of Learning and Development for the standard of the training we deliver. Our internal training is also CPD accredited, helping individuals excel in their roles as well as working towards achieving professional development.
