Our culture
Our values shape our culture. We’re inclusive, collaborative, curious, insightful and driven. Employees here share a sense of purpose and passion, creating a culture where everyone is encouraged to contribute, innovate and grow.
We listen. We invite regular feedback via our Employee Forum and EDI Working Group. The results from our annual staff survey are analysed and any recommendations are implemented.
We want EngineeringUK to be a great place to work so it’s easy for our people to deliver our mission. Being together as a team happens at regular all team meetings, away days and socials. We recognise hard work through our monthly ‘thank you’ and ‘spot awards’ programme.
