UK Power Networks is an organisation that truly puts its people at the heart of its operations. By fostering an environment that is both proactive and inclusive, the company has built a workplace where colleagues feel supported, valued, and empowered to thrive. This commitment is evidenced by the c400 long-serving employees who have dedicated over 40 years of service, a powerful testament to the company’s enduring "family culture" and its status as an employer of choice.
At the core of their engagement strategy is a robust focus on Wellbeing. The organisation has established a wide-reaching peer support network, including 157 Mental Health First Aiders and 60 Wellbeing Champions. To ensure health remains a priority, they provide 24/7 support through a dedicated wellbeing app and the "Health Moments" initiative, which keeps physical and mental health on every team's agenda.
Leadership at UK Power Networks leads by example. Through the "Listen & Deliver" campaign, the Executive Management Team has addressed over 150 employee suggestions, improving everything from tools to facilities. Furthermore, the "Leadership Academy" provides transformative growth, having enrolled over 342 managers in accredited programmes since 2020. Whether through the excitement of the "Royal Ramble" raising £88,000 for charity or the prestige of the "Living Our Values" awards at The Guildhall, the company consistently celebrates success and strengthens the bonds of its team.
