Values & Behaviour
Our Mission Statement governs our approach to crucial issues such as business ethics, behaviour, health and safety and sustainability. These Values are communicated to all employees, and we have a suite of policies which give clear guidance on how we expect our people to behave.
Crest Nicholson requires that all employees conduct business legally and within a clear ethical framework. This framework is clearly set out within our Human Resource Policies which cover:
- Values & Behaviour
- Equal Opportunities
- Communication
- Occupational Health & Safety
Values & Behaviour
This covers Crest Nicholson's standards of conduct towards each other and our stakeholders. Crest Nicholson does not tolerate discrimination, dishonesty or unethical behaviour in any form, and has appropriate disciplinary, and secure confidential whistle blowing, mechanisms in place.
Equal Opportunities
Crest Nicholson values diversity and equality, and selects employees based on their aptitude and abilities. The same standards govern our approach to training & development, reward and promotion and are reflected in our policies.
Communication
Crest Nicholson's values, policies and procedures form part of its formal contract with employees, both permanent and temporary.
Policies and procedures are reviewed and approved by the Executive Workgroup and are communicated using appropriate media, including the Company intranet.
Staff engagement is important to Crest Nicholson. Information and changes that the Company wishes to communicate (including trading updates) are disseminated via various media as appropriate to the message, such as departmental briefings, road shows and one on one meetings, plus the Company intranet.
Occupational Health & Safety
This policy augments our health & safety policy, and covers the safety of our employees while they carry out their roles plus the promotion of general health & welfare. Access to private medical insurance is available to all permanent employees, along with a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme which provides guidance and help for a wide range of issues at work and at home. A confidential Helpline and professional Stress Counselling services are provided.
