Why do we engage with Internal Stakeholders?

ASTI-staff-photoshoot-resized.pngEngaging with our employees and embedded contractors is essential to building a thriving organisation where everyone feels valued, aligned, and motivated to fulfil our mission of Delivering a Network for Net Zero.

…Which also unlocks wider societal benefits: as we focus on recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce of field-based and hybrid working employees, it’s never been more important for us to have one inclusive and engaged team, operating in a happy, healthy and safe workplace. By prioritising engagement and open communication, we aim to create a positive environment where people feel proud to work for us and take pride in the impact they make on society.

Our commitments

Being purposeful and timely with our engagement
Acknowledging employees’ busy workloads and priorities, we create focused engagement opportunities aimed at driving positive outcomes and making SSEN Transmission an even better place to work.

Seeking input and learning from experience
We gather insights throughout the year using a blend of formal and informal employee listening activities, collecting feedback on ways to better support employee well-being, training and development, and recognition.

Adapting and responding to employees’ needs
Working with the relevant business leads to understand the qualitive and quantitative employee feedback, identifying key themes and creating targeted action plans to address employee concerns. As our workforce grows, we will continue to make positive changes to our ways of working and communication approach, providing clear information on decisions and reasoning along the way.

Providing regular and effective means of consultation and negotiation at local business level
We work with our Trade Union partners to discuss business specific organisational issues and aim to resolve business specific problems by agreement.
