Valuing People

Workplaces where people can be themselves and fulfil their potential

"In light of national skills shortages our role as an employer and trainer has become even more important. With the future pipeline of talent always in mind, we undertake outreach to schools, inspiring and supporting youngsters in areas of low social mobility."

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.

Helping people succeed

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.

Hands-on experience for graduates

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.

Mark of quality

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.
