Andy Hill - VP Talent Management Welcome to this candidate guide designed to provide you with an insight into Invensys, prior to your interview with us. As global Vice-President for Talent Management at Invensys, I am delighted you have taken this step to advance your career and chosen this company as a way of getting there. One of the phrases used within this brochure is ‘transforming performance – helping our customers to achieve operational excellence’. As an employee at Invensys, we all have the opportunity to transform our careers, so we as individuals can achieve excellence and in turn help Invensys achieve its goals. I wish you much luck with your career and hope this guide helps you understand a little more about our business.

Q: What attracted you to Invensys as an employer? A: It was the right time for me in my career, to take on a truly global leadership role, in which I could shape and influence an organisation moving forward. I felt Invensys really offered this to me.

Q: What is the Talent Management strategy at Invensys? A: At Invensys we are committed to our employees’ development and have regular talent reviews. We also conduct a more formal process called OCR (Organisational Capability Review), where we formally discuss succession and review our high Q: How would you describe potentials and high professionals.

Q: Why should strong talent be attracted to Invensys as an employer of choice? A: In my career, I have experienced that companies which offer big rewards and diverse benefits for people, playing a part in their success, may be seen as measures of companies becoming ‘employers of choice’. Not often in my experience is it easy to see how one can contribute to that success. At Invensys, we are all aligned with our own individual goals to contribute. Therefore, if someone wants to be part of a success story, and play their part in that – Invensys is a good place to work. We have changed our organisation significantly over the past 10 years, to become the success we are today, and have not been scared to make tough decisions. We may not be the largest organisation, but we are one of the most focused. All people will make their own judgement on what an ‘employer of choice’ is. At Invensys, we strongly value integrity and therefore, we hope that people joining Invensys can clearly make their own choices around their own careers.

Our Vision and Mission for Invensys are in place to enable this culture to be a reality, both underpinned by our values which we desire our employees to espouse. Our Vision To be unquestioned leaders in our chosen markets.

A values driven approach

We must be able to quickly adapt, grow and swiftly change for a sustainable future and stay one step ahead of our competition.

Agility

Transforming Performance It takes a certain kind of person to work at Invensys. People who are confident of their own ability and want to succeed.

Achieve Excellence Alignment with the Invensys Values is considered integral to the performance of our employees and has been supported with personal messages from our Group Leadership Team members, workshops that are designed to be built into team meetings and with new recognition arrangements. The key messages of the Invensys brand and its values have been clarified and made relevant to current and potential Invensys employees through an employer branding initiative. This in turn helps Invensys to help its customers achieve operational excellence.

10

Growing your career with Invensys

Growing your career with Invensys

Agility is required to compete in today’s markets. It requires that we up-skill and develop ourselves and our organisation to meet changing business needs. Standing still is simply not an option.

Innovation means understanding the problem and then looking widely to find or create solutions. Never doing something “just because we’ve always done it this way”.

People who want to can innovate and help us all succeed People with a ‘can-do’ attitude; people who want to be the best they can.

Agility is the ability to make changes in order to survive and thrive. The quicker we are able to recognise a new environment and adapt accordingly, the easier it is to move forward. We base our decisions on facts and when the facts change, we respond quickly.

Innovation

Integrity

Innovation challenges our previous way of thinking and leads us to feel inspired. It means finding ways to do what is considered to be difficult or impossible. It

means challenging established interpretations and views. Innovation is an investment in the business to boost future success and drive the business forward.

Good relationships are built on trust. By acting with integrity, we invoke this trust and in return have the right to be treated with respect by others both internally and externally. At Invensys, we must maintain consistency of word and deed. This means making commitments and delivering on them 100%. Integrity is the core of trusting our colleagues and our fellow team members. We can take this commitment of integrity as a promise that we will deliver.

Dealing honestly with each other, knowing the difference between right and wrong, having courage to do what is right, and caring about the perspectives others give can improve outcomes for individuals and for the organisation. This is how we meet our commitments – through our integrity every day.

We must take the time to focus on our performance as that has a direct correlation to our business results.

Performance

Our performance is important because it is the backbone of Invensys; without the contributions of each individual in the company, we would not succeed. We focus on performance because when we recognise the

achievements and valuable contributions of our individuals and teams, we create a culture of high performance. The better we perform, the better Invensys performs.

Corporate responsibility Invensys remains committed to supporting the principles of economic success, environmental stewardship, diversity and social responsibility. We strongly believe that success in these areas will help us to minimise business risk, enhance our reputation and continue to grow profitably in our chosen markets.

By acting as a responsible global citizen, we help our customers operate efficiently and safely while also enhancing our reputation as a business partner of choice. Sustainability at Invensys means: Providing efficient and safe products and solutions For our customers, we offer a portfolio of products and business solutions that helps improve sustainability performance by increasing efficiency, safety, productivity and profitability. We incorporate efficiency into our product design, manufacturing and supply chain programmes, focusing on resource consumption, material selection and life cycle considerations. Operating efficiently and safely We minimise our environmental footprint by measuring our energy, water, waste, fleet and business travel impacts and setting reduction targets at our manufacturing sites. We improve workplace safety at our facilities and our customer sites by setting safety performance targets, implementing effective injury/illness prevention programmes and engaging in behaviourbased safety measures.

12

Investing in our employees and communities We strive to attract and retain the best employees and to make Invensys a place where high-performing people choose to be, where they can enhance their careers and are motivated to perform at their best. Inclusion in the workforce Invensys fosters an inclusive culture where anyone with the skills and abilities to perform is treated fairly. We embrace the diversity of our employees and the greater effectiveness a diverse workforce allows us to offer our customers. We continue to respect and support the principles of the European Convention on Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact by ensuring we comply with the labour laws of the countries in which we operate and by creating an inclusive and respectful culture for our diverse workforce. Invensys is committed to equal opportunities and supports the recommendations of Lord Davies and the Financial Reporting Council regarding diversity. This is reflected in the wide range of international backgrounds and skills of our directors, as well as the appointment of two female directors to the Board. We also recognise the importance of diversity below Board level and have launched a number of diversity initiatives, including an independent diversity assessment intended to highlight issues and opportunities across the business.

In addition, the Invensys Women’s Exchange is an established resource group that provides support, education and networking opportunities within Invensys and with our customers. The Invensys Code of Conduct The Invensys Code of Conduct both describes and represents our commitment to responsible business and is the foundation of our broader Compliance Programme. Under the terms of the Code of Conduct, our employees undertake to work with integrity as representatives of Invensys and in accordance with both local laws and our own standards of ethical behaviour. Where the Code of Conduct is more exacting than local laws or standards, the Code of Conduct must be followed. Community and charitable investment InvensysInvolved, our Group-wide community engagement framework, combines employee volunteerism and strategically-aligned company resources to address essential needs in the communities where we live and work. Under Invensys Involved, our employees are encouraged to participate in four distinct areas of community service.

Invensys Bangalore makes a difference

Invensys Foxboro introduces students to engineering

Invensys in Bangalore, India has led several initiatives to make a difference in the community where it lives and works. This Bridge School, supported by the Concern India foundation, located inside the Sobha Sun City premises, provides education for children of migrant workers from Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Orissa. As their parents are constantly on the move, these children face gaps in education and childcare while their caretakers are at work.

For the past several years, Invensys Foxboro US’s FoxMass Development Center team has been involved with the local high school’s Introduction to Engineering class. The purpose of the class is to expose interested junior and senior students to engineering thinking and help them consider engineering as a career.

Invensys is committed to supporting the school and works directly with the students by means of structured interactions and organised volunteering sessions at the school.

Over the past several years, the Invensys Foxboro team has assisted with lesson plan ideas and made presentations to the class regarding engineering-related disciplines in the automation field, the overall value of an engineering degree, and how engineering thinking is applied to solve problems.

Invensys raises awareness of breast cancer in Dubai

Invensys participates in nationwide run for charity in Germany

The Invensys team in Dubai participated in the BurJuman Pink Walkathon 2012 to increase breast cancer awareness. The BurJuman Safe & Sound campaign is one of the largest, most comprehensive breast cancer awareness campaigns in the Middle East. Launched in 1997 by BurJuman, a large well-known shopping centre in Dubai, this year-round programme focused on the key message of survival through early detection and treatment. Through numerous events along with outreach initiatives, Safe & Sound has encouraged families in the United Arab Emirates to proactively take charge of their health, helping to increase understanding and empower women in the fight against breast cancer.

The local Invensys team in Nuremberg, Germany, participated in the nationwide B2RUN run/walk event in Germany this past year. The B2RUN run/walk event has become national in scope and includes events that occur simultaneously across 10 locations with the finishing lines in many of Germany’s biggest stadiums. This past year over 20 Invensys employees participated, raising money for B2RUN’s children-focused charity partner. This event, which started in 2009, had over 2,000 participants. “We were happy to have the Nuremberg team participate in the B2RUN event and raise money for such an important cause. We look forward to participating again next year!” said Suzanne Schenkel, Human Resources Manager with Invensys.

Safe & Sond Focuses all proceeds from fund raising initiatives toward providing further breast cancer awareness services, free mammograms and patient care.

Invensys Competencies The Invensys Competencies have been developed to prioritise the behaviours most critical to success. The application of these Competencies will accelerate our journey to becoming a cohesive, sustainable and high-performing organisation.

The Invensys Competencies have been identified through a comprehensive research-backed process involving a significant number of executives and leaders across Invensys. They are grouped into five clusters linked to the organisational capabilities which we have identified as important to deliver Invensys strategy: • customer focus • deliver results • develop for the future • engage people • innovate

deliver results

The effective implementation of our Competencies at individual, team and organisational level is designed to accelerate our journey to becoming a high performing, sustainable and cohesive organisation. The competencies form part of our performance assessment and development planning processes. They evaluate the HOW of performance by describing observable behaviours in a way which facilitates discussions around performance gaps either in the current job roles or measured against career aspirations. A wide range of development solutions combining on-line training, reading, tutor-led training and experience based development actions are linked to each Competency to help all employees to maximise their potential.

innovate

Invensys Competencies Progression We recognise that competencies change as individuals progress through their careers. To maximise relevance we have therefore mapped specific competencies linked to each cluster to different profiles for Executives, Leaders and Individual Contributors. The Invensys Competencies will therefore also help improve the quality of candidate assessment for both internal promotions and external hires.
