Our people are our most important asset and we make great efforts to ensure we have policies in place to provide a safe working environment to protect our employees.
As an organisation, it is important that XP Power promotes workforce diversity, integrity and a safe and healthy work environment.
Integrity
It is imperative that all of our employees are ethical. Integrity is one of our corporate Core Values and is regularly communicated throughout the organisation.
We live and breathe our Core Values. We address them in our communication meetings, performance appraisals and prominently post them throughout our facilities as a reminder of the importance of these values throughout our day-to-day activities. We have a comprehensive Code of Conduct that all our employees receive and sign up to. Integrity means, to us, that we are:
- Honest in all our interactions with our colleagues, customers and suppliers.
- Always doing the right thing.
- Taking care of our people to ensure XP Power is a great place to work where we trust the people we work with, have pride in what we do and gain enjoyment from our work.
Training and development
We focus on improving our training and development, ensuring we maintain an innovative and dynamic business that is focused on providing the best solutions for customers and an exciting and engaging work environment for our people. In particular, we believe our sales team is the best trained and most technical in our industry. This enables them to provide genuine value to our customers.
Recruitment and retention
We focus on recruiting the right people into the business who are passionate about solutions that power the world's critical systems and who align with our culture and values. Retaining the knowledge and expertise is fundamental to the sustainable success of XP Power. In our annual cultural survey, questions such as "I am proud to be part of XP Power" and "I would recommend XP Power as a great place to work" have consistently scored in the top five.
Health and safety
No. of incidents
As an organisation, XP Power seriously considers the suitability of our Health and Safety programme. The programme we have in place focuses on preventive action to ensure that we are being proactive and therefore reducing the risk of incidents from occurring. In addition to meeting the requirements set out in the Responsible Business Alliance Code of Conduct, we ensure that we comply with and keep abreast of particular local requirements. There are Committee members at each of our key sites that ensure any accidents are reported, acted upon and analysed for management review. The Health and Safety metrics are reported to the Board of Directors to ensure visibility throughout all levels of the organisation.
