Promise to our customers: A trusted partner creating exceptional environments for your customers and people, adding value every day. Promise to our colleagues: A place to work where you can thrive and be your best every day. Our Values There are five core values that shape how we behave at Mitie: We are one Mitie We are built on integrity and trust We go the extra mile Our diversity makes us stronger Our customers’ business, is our business Diversity & inclusion We believe our diverse workforce makes us stronger, introducing us to fresh ways of thinking. We also believe everyone should have the opportunity to progress. Our colleague networks offer members a safe and confidential space to discuss issues affecting them, help improve our policies and procedures and keep in touch with external policy developments. Each of our dedicated groups – on age, gender equality, disability and for BAME and LGBTQ+ colleagues, among others – is sponsored by a senior leader who advocates for diversity and inclusion and promotes the agenda across the Group. We are proud to be recognised as number 6 on the UK Top 50 inclusive companies list. Gender Pay Gap As at 4th April 2019, the median pay gap for Mitie Group plc was 4.6% (versus 6.1% the previous year) which compares favourably with the UK national median pay gap of 17.3%. Our mean gender pay gap has also decreased to 10.4% (versus 13.8% the previous year). Whilst this is a positive step in the right direction, we are not complacent and are committed to continuing our efforts to further reduce the gap by focusing on programmes that can really make a difference. Our efforts over the past 12 months have centred around four areas. These continue to form part of a long-term, sustainable approach focused on improving the representation of women, and all underrepresented groups, across all organisational levels. They are as follows: Leadership: Enabling more women into leadership positions through targeted development interventions for female talent; Resourcing: Ensuring our resourcing is fully inclusive and we are hiring from a diverse talent pool; Career Development: Take action that supports the career progression of underrepresented groups; and Reward & Recognition: Create a powerful, engaging, and diverse reward & recognition proposition that rewards the right behaviour and celebrates inclusion. More information is provided in our 2019 Gender Pay Gap Report > Rewarding our people Mitie Stars Our people deliver the exceptional every day. That’s why we prioritise saying thank you for their hard work. Our annual award scheme, Mitie Stars, is dedicated to recognising the teams and individuals that go above and beyond for customers or colleagues. Living Wage We want our people to feel valued – and we understand the role that wages play in that. All colleagues based at Mitie offices receive the real Living Wage and we are working towards becoming a Recognised Service Provider with the Living Wage Foundation by 2020. Learning & development Apprenticeships We have over 570 apprentices working across our portfolio of contracts. In the last financial year, we paid £5m into the Apprenticeship Levy scheme and we are now partnering with specialist providers to ensure we deliver the highest quality learning that meets the needs of both the individual and the business. Mitie Sales Academy In January 2019, we launched our year-long sales apprenticeship scheme, the Mitie Sales Academy. We trained 12 recruits and helped them achieve a Level Four sales certification from the Association of Professional Sales (APS). This new project, which lays the groundwork for future professional apprenticeship programmes, was made possible thanks to Apprenticeship Levy funding. Learning Hub In 2018, we launched ‘Learning Hub’, our dedicated learning platform for colleagues. It contains an extensive library of titles from Active Listening to Writing Reports and covers a wide range of topics from Business Skills to Wellbeing at Work. With videos, audio, games and quizzes available, the content caters different learning preferences. I love the people here. My manager and my team make me want to put in the extra effort to get the job done. I enjoy working here and that is really important to me.
