Our objectives

We have four people-focused objectives:

Create a diverse and inclusive workplace

Attract and retain the right talent to deliver excellent customer services

Provide a safe and secure working environment

Unlock the potential in our colleagues and maximise their career satisfaction

Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace

Embracing a diverse and inclusive workplace, where colleagues feel motivated in their work, feel valued, respected and are united in achieving our purpose and mission, not only enables us to unlock our colleagues’ full potential, but allows us to deliver accessible services and equitable outcomes for the diverse communities we serve.

We continue to embed our Diversity and Inclusion framework which focuses on:

  • Creating safe spaces and a sense of inclusion and belonging
  • Inclusive leadership that role models inclusive behaviours and creates a nurturing and collaborative environment for colleagues
  • Having a learner mindset that is brave to accept when things don’t go well and to learn from them
  • Providing opportunities to grow, no matter your background
  • Putting our customers’ interests at the heart of everything we do

Colleague experience

We are proud to have passionate, highly engaged colleagues who feel comfortable to tell us what they think,

how they feel and what they want us to improve upon. One of the ways in which we actively encourage

colleagues to share their thoughts is via our in-depth employee engagement survey.

This year, 84% completed our annual survey which showed that:

  •          Our engagement score remains high at 78%
  •          81% of colleagues are proud to work for Orbit
  •          77% would recommend Orbit as a great place to work
  •          85% agreed that we’re committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce

#ThisIsMe

We provide colleagues with wellbeing support tools via our award-winning #ThisIsMe programme, to help them to be themselves and feel at their best. We offer resources and support, colleague networks, listening sessions, podcasts, tools, and forums, all aimed at creating an inclusive workplace. Themes include MyHealth, MyMoney and MyMind.

Volunteering

We actively give back to our communities and good causes through volunteering. Volunteering helps our colleagues be a part of making a difference, develop new skills, and build relationships with others. That’s why we offer colleagues eight hours per year to invest in a cause of their choice.
