Our Achievements so far

2021

Women in Novus (WiN) Network established Established as our first colleague networking group, the WiN network enables colleagues from across the company to come together to discuss the challenges that the women in our business face and focusses on implementing strategies to effectively overcome them.

Enhanced Family Friendly Policies & Inclusion Policy

Our Inclusion policy was launched. In addition a full review was also undertaken of all our People policies to remove bias. We enhanced our Family Friendly terms, supporting colleagues starting families with improved payment terms for maternity, paternity, surrogacy, and adoption leave.

Hybrid Working

As a business, we identified many key roles which could be undertaken in a form of hybrid-working, mixing in-office and at-home working. We consulted with our colleagues and developed new policies to support this type of working, where possible.

Competency Framework

Implemented business wide to create clarity around expectations in roles and a clear pathway for progression for every colleague.

Apprentice Recruitment

We successfully recruited 17 apprentices into a variety of disciplines in both our Operational and Central Support locations.

External Commitments

Signed the Inspiring Women in Construction Industry Pledge

Corporate Social Responsibility

Through our Build Back Better campaign we supported Mosaic LGBT+ Young Persons’ Trust, a Greater London charity offering a range of services to support members of the LGBT+ community and their families by completing improvement works to their community centre.
