Fighting climate change
Roke has an Environmental management system which has been independently audited and ISO 14001:2015 certified by BSI, a UKAS certification body. All our environmental aspects have been identified, and the impacts are managed and are regularly reviewed to ensure continual improvement in this area. We have targets and objectives, identified in our published and Crown Commercial approved Carbon Reduction Plan (PPN 06/21) We project that Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions will decrease over the next five years from 2020 figure of 352.47 tCO2e to 180tCO2e by 2025. This is a reduction of 48.9% . Our future Carbon Reduction Initiatives include LED lighting replacement ongoing - potential reduction 8.1 tCo2e, PIR light controllers, ongoing - potential reduction 1.9 tCo2e, ESOS 3 Environmental engineering recommendations for alternative integrated environmental power supplies and replacement of Oil boilers. We currently have in place 12 Electric vehicle charging points at our Romsey site, we have refurbished our Pavilion to include better insulation, temperature control and PIR lighting. We have introduced a car benefit scheme which offers Hybrid, PHEV and EV cars for Roke staff. A replacement major chiller unit has been installed with on demand driven pumps. We have replaced Diesel with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).Covid-19 recovery
During what proved to be a difficult time for all, Roke applied, and continues to where necessary, its expertise and knowledge to ensure maximum safety for employees and visitors of Roke. With several measures and approaches to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, Roke were able to minimise disruption and carry on as business as usual.
Some of the measures taken to mitigate and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic included, but were not limited to; Risk assessments, regular communications between the business, hygiene stations, liquid guarding of high-touch surfaces such as hot desks, social distancing, face coverings, weekly COVID Working Group, COVID support line and a monthly COVID “Playbook” that was distributed to the wider business. This included briefings and updates regarding COVID-19 and the latest rules and regulations we should follow. The playbook also provided reminders and guidance around Roke’s measures and controls that supported the recovery of COVID-19.Tackling economic inequality
Roke is focused on developing talent from various backgrounds that are underrepresented in the workforce and the Engineering industry specifically. The work of our Employee Resource Groups helps support colleagues to progress their careers, which is key to addressing inequity based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. Roke has set itself 5-year targets to increase representation of minority groups within the workforce and this drives actions in recruitment, such as training interviewers in unconscious bias and neurodiversity in order to ensure all applicants equal opportunity.
Roke is active in the community by working with groups to help progress opportunities for talent from non-traditional routes. The Roke Academy: Our centre of excellence for learning and development, focuses on non-traditional areas of recruitment to embrace undiscovered talent who may not have previously had the opportunity to enter the tech field. Our STEM activity and work with groups such as Tap Talent helps us give the widest possible group encouragement to join our industry.
Roke benchmarks salaries against similar organisations, and demographic factors such as gender and ethnicity are considered during annual salary reviews. Roke has previously paid cost of living bonuses which are more advantageous to those in lower earnings bands to help address disproportionate impact of financial crises. We publish equal pay surveys annually and are proud of the steady progression in narrowing the gap.Equal opportunity
Roke is regularly updating our behaviours and social values framework, which is an integral part of our business and operational philosophy. We recognise that our strength comes from our diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and that we all have a responsibility to create an environment where we each have the freedom, support and trust to succeed. We are encouraged to bring our true self to work and we respect our Roke community, embracing diversity and inclusivity across the business. Roke runs a network of Employee Resource Groups which act as communities to lead initiatives in various areas, including Women in Roke, Inspire (LGBT+), Majority Ethnic, Veterans, Neuro-diversity and disability.
Roke works with colleges and universities to nurture young people from diverse backgrounds and encourage them to take an active interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). We believe that such educational outreach is fundamental to ensuring the UK continues to be competitive in the development of cutting-edge technology. Our activities in this area include technology involvement days, such as child to work day and work experience placements, as well as visiting schools to bring the curriculum to life with examples of exciting technology.
With an increased hire of Graduates/Apprentices, there has been renewed focus on the development of a network of Early Careers employees. The Group continues to target and attract increasing numbers of early careers joiners, both direct from school or following degree-level study.
Roke Academy was formed to align with the company’s initiatives to provide equal opportunities to individuals from all walks of life. Over 15% of our staff have a registered disability and Roke is Disability Confident committed accredited.Wellbeing
Roke’s Healthy Workplaces working group focuses on key initiatives to promote wellbeing at work and mental health has been a focus this year. The group helps employees make better decisions for themselves for a healthier lifestyle both at work and at home. Roke has a network of trained Mental Health First Aiders. Roke runs a number of Employee Assistance Programmes, which are an employee benefit designed to assist employees with personal problems and/or work-related problems that may impact their job performance, health, mental and emotional wellbeing. Roke also has an active social club that exists to provide a focus for social activities across the site, comprising of a number of clubs and interest groups with the aim of improving community integration.
The Roke HSE team promote and build a sustainable and resilient future, continually developing a positive culture focusing on all aspects of Health, Safety and Environment. The health of our workforce matters at Roke; there are a number of initiatives to support colleagues in their work and everyday life including day one Occupational Health provision, with ongoing support throughout each employee's career. There is provision of onsite Mental Health first aiders and 24/7 support via our Employee Assistance Program, with virtual GP appointments and counselling available through our Health Care Cash Plan insurance. Employees also have access to expert psychological help.
Roke’s people management systems have recently been independently audited BSI, a UKAS certification body and certified as compliant with ISO 14003:2021 (management of psychological and psychosocial hazards); Roke are one of the first companies to achieve this standard.
‘We are Roke’ is a real-time engagement tool providing dashboard information on employee sentiment across the Group and enables the company to issue targeted surveys to measure employee feedback and use the outputs to enable change for the better.
