Strategy

At SSL we are creating a performance-driven culture that supports motivated, successful people who are passionate about our future. ‘Our People’ strategy has been created to support the organisation in fulfilling this vision.

‘Our People’ strategy focuses on four key areas:

• Resourcing

  “finding, attracting and retaining the right people”

  The quality of our people is key to the continuing success of our business, so the recruitment, retention and motivation of high calibre employees is important to us.

• Reward

  “rewarding our people”

  Our approach to reward is directly aligned to over-performance against financial targets and SSL continues to move towards rewarding individuals for performance.

  The approach to rewarding individuals may vary and is tailor-made to individual needs and circumstances. This allows for the right tool to be used at the right time to include:-

  • base pay,
  • benefits and incentives,
  • development opportunities
  • increased responsibilities,
  • verbal or written recognition of achievement.

Be Inspired

• Communication

  “talking & listening to our people”

  Open and honest communication is key to a successful business and is a core value for SSL. Our overall communication programme focuses on three core areas – our brands, our people and our financial performance.

  We have developed a toolbox for communication provides the platform for on-going communication initiatives and includes: the employee magazine, ‘Be Inspired’, intranet, ‘Insight’ and poster campaigns supporting SSL’s vision and values.

• Development

  “growing our people”

  Employee development has always been a key priority for SSL and we offer a wide range of development opportunities that support continuous professional and personal development that is easily accessible to all people in our organisation.
