In-person, training offers a much more user-friendly and engaging approach to knowledge transfer. Additionally, we have a strong emphasis on shift left. We can empower other support teams to pick up and complete simpler routine tasks, allowing engineering and development teams to focus on more complex tasks.; Where the cloud solution is being managed by an in-house team, we traditionally adopt a model where they are integrated into the implementation lifecycle to get visibility from the outset to maximise training, train the trainer, and knowledge transfer across the lifecycle, typically ending in an operational acceptance testing and formal handover process with an option for early life support.

  Fighting climate change

  Our publicly-available Social Value strategy includes an Environment pledge to achieve UK net zero targets by 2040 by fighting climate change and supporting effective stewardship of the environment. To achieve our near-term and long-term science-based targets for NetZero we have policies and activities in-place to support environmental protection and minimise the impact of our operations and services on the environment. These are overseen by our Environmental Working Group (EWG) comprising employees, subject matter experts and senior leaders. The EWG leads an annual NetZero forum with partner ecosystems to exchange insights for accelerators and greener digital solutions. Our commitment to environmental targets is upheld by regular reviews in our Social Value Steering Committee, which assess progress, strategise and ensure transparency through annual ESG reports and our UK Carbon Reduction Plan. ; ; To enhance effectiveness of customers' environmental strategies, our Green IT Centre of Excellence is committed to integrating sustainable practices in delivery methods. This includes adopting green-coding practices and planet-centric designs which align to the Government’s 25-year Environment Plan and Greening Government Commitments. Our project team understands buyers’ local policies and agrees sustainable design principles. We use our ISO14001 Environment Management System to deliver and implement plans using ISO9001-certified processes. ; ; Our policies, programmes and initiatives to fight climate change include: ; ; Partnering with Carbon Trust to guide CO2 reductions, delivered through initiatives such as reduced business flights, electric vehicle and cycle-to-work incentives. ; ; We’ve introduced waste management systems in our offices; zip taps for water; food waste managed by composting partners; e-waste via Good Things Foundation and redistributed to disadvantaged groups. ; ; Our annual staff survey understands hybrid-working and commuting emissions; Climate Awareness Training advises staff how to reduce them. ; ; To help staff and Buyers understand benefits of environmental stewardship through volunteering, we reconnect people with the environment via greening partners, e.g. Leeds Countryside Rangers.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Our publicly-available Social Value Strategy includes three pledges which tackle economic inequality. To deliver the pledges we work with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) including social enterprises focused on reducing the digital skills gap and apprentice programmes. The Government Good Work plan underpins in-work progression with all-staff training and upskilling. ; ; We work with (SMEs) local to our regional offices - London, Leeds, Birmingham - and when developing social value ideas for a buyer, extend reach to communities local to its workforce. 50% of our suppliers are SMEs, we’re signatories of the prompt payment scheme, have a Sustainable Procurement Policy and assess social values and behaviours via a supplier questionnaire. ; ; We recognise that reducing the digital skills gap can improve economic equality and the armed forces and youth social enterprises we work with enable our people to voluntarily run free digital upskilling courses. Our Service Leavers Programme also provides supported routes into tech careers. ; ; We have a fair recruitment and retention strategy underpinned by the Government’s Good Work Plan and a DE&I Policy aligned to the Equality Act 2010. We’re a Living Wage employer; actively recruit from under-represented groups and influence a future pipeline via national youth events in schools with high free-school-meal uptake. As part of this we: ; ; Ensure job adverts use accessible language and offer reasonable adjustments forms. All staff receive disability awareness and inclusivity training, we advertise through disability jobs boards. ; ; Support people Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEETs) with apprentice programs and recruit from Cloud skills bootcamps (50:50 gender split). ; ; Offer mentoring to undergraduates from disadvantaged groups at five universities. ; ; Pay above National Living Wage and publish gender-gap statistics annually. ; ; Ensure 100% FTE have mentors and twice-yearly appraisals to support in-work progression and access to Netcompany Academy, 50+ courses including cloud computing and cyber security.

  Equal opportunity

  Our publicly-available Social Value Strategy includes an Employment and Volunteering pledge committed to equal opportunity and tackling inequality. We have a Modern Slavery statement and DE&I policy underpinning our inclusive working environment, which includes accessible recruitment, reducing the disability employment gap, apprentice-programmes, skills, training and in-work progression opportunities for all. ; ; Our published DE&I policy, reviewed annually, aligns with 2010 Equality Act and we have a DE&I working group and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) which report into the Social Value Steering Committee. In 2024 our Neurodiversity ERG launched and like existing ERGs (Women, Veterans, LGBTQ+, Multicultural) helps foster an equal, inclusive workplace. ERGs have motivated policy change, eg: an upgraded maternity policy and additional paid leave for reservists; and partner with social enterprise initiatives such as GirlTech supporting equal opportunity in the skills-pipeline. We enhance this further with a 50:50 gender split on apprentices and industrial placements. ; ; For recruitment and retention, we align with the Government’s Good Work Plan and interviewers receive non-bias training and follow a strict code. We have a strategy to improve representation in three groups by 2025: women from 20-30%; disabled people from 10-15% and retain multicultural representation at 30%, it includes: ; ; Extension of consultant roles to women without IT backgrounds/tertiary qualifications. ; ; Annual pay-gap reporting and addressing of disparities; employees with similar experience are paid equally; all staff paid above National Living Wage. ; ; Disability awareness and inclusivity training for all staff; we’re Disability Confident and advertise via disability jobs boards. ; ; Support of universities with high multicultural student population, offering mentors and opportunities towards our entry-level consultant pathway. ; ; Supporting in-work progression and equal access to training via Netcompany Academy’s 50+ courses, a dedicated mentor for all and transparent promotion processes. ; ; A published Modern Slavery statement, in 2024 we commenced staff training to improve their knowledge around this.

  Wellbeing

  Our publicly-available Social Value Strategy sets out our pledge to improve health and wellbeing and is underpinned by Thriving at Work’s six mental health core standards and the Mental Health at Work commitment. Activities to support the pledge include influencing and education, healthcare and dental plans and company-wide wellbeing initiatives. ; ; All staff have access to optical, dental and Vitality’s private healthcare scheme - the comprehensive cover includes physical, mental health, physiotherapy and remote GPs. Our People Team conduct monthly health-and-wellness assessments, with insights/data from Vitality which are reviewed by senior teams to identify concerns and necessary interventions. Two annual surveys track lifestyle behaviours and we act on findings to develop initiatives ie: training, education and social events. Vitality offers a points-based incentive scheme - healthy behaviours are monitored and open-up rewards from cinemas, coffee shops and fitness-tracking devices. ; ; Both Vitality’s mental health provision and our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offer three types of talking-therapy. We have trained mental health first aiders, 1 for every 90 FTE, and advocate for a healthy work/life balance by offering flexible and remote working. Our “After Dark” social events are beneficial in bringing people together and strengthening relationships; activities include sport, creative classes and family events. All employees can improve mental health through ‘giving back’ via volunteering with our social value partners, ie: environmental greening and supporting younger people on their tech journey. ; ; Wellbeing schemes for our contract workforce include: ; ; Annual fitness challenge. ; ; Cycle to work scheme in association with Halfords. ; ; Work environment assessment supported by posture principles masterclass and yoga. ; ; Tailored lunch-and-learn influencer series with experts, subjects include menopause, fatherhood, stress-management, diet. ; ; Financial support through the EAP, plus an enhanced private pension scheme. ; ; Fair and supported career-progression, transparent twice-yearly appraisals, mentor for 100% staff, access to Netcompany Academy to upskill in over 50 courses.
