OUR FOUR COMMITMENTS: WE WILL ENSURE OUR PEOPLE ARE AT THE HEART OF OUR SOCIAL MOBILITY PLAN Listening
Research
First and foremost, our social mobility action plan will be a plan about people. The people within our company and the people in local communities that we deliver services.
Our Social Mobility evaluation will allow us to understand changes in outcomes for people in our communities.
We also want it to be a plan by people, both our own people here at Severn Trent and those around us in those local communities. We have drawn on research around social mobility to consider the priorities for our action plan and have planned initial engagement with colleagues throughout the business to deliver on what social mobility means to them. We want young people in our business and our communities to have positive role models, drawn from the opportunities we offer within our business, but also the people that are currently leading in those roles, enabling positive role models for young people across The Midlands. The involvement of our people will take place alongside a commitment to putting the ideas and aspirations of the communities we serve at the centre of the plan.
We will continue to work with the Social Mobility Pledge, voluntary and community groups, as well as business organisations to consistently evaluate, and innovate our approach. We will take ownership of improving our communities, researching indications of progress for our Action Plan and how it is changing peopleĆ¢€™s outcomes, their resilience, wellbeing and optimism about their future.
