Home | About Imperial | Our people proposition
As the most critical enabler of our strategy, our people are central to effective organisational transformation, improved performance and accelerated growth. The transformation of how we manage our people, underpinned by our culture journey, will ensure that we grow into ‘One Imperial’, with the right talent to build it, the right leadership to guide it and the right organisational architecture to support it.
With an enabling collaborative culture, ‘One Imperial’ thinking and a clearly articulated employee value proposition, we aim to strengthen our employer of choice brand in all our markets.
Flattening our structures, empowering employees to make decisions and be responsive, providing exciting career paths for our people with an attractive employee value proposition are just some of our initiatives to create a culture in which people are inspired to service our clients, principals and customers and create positive change in the economies in which we operate.
Our people strategy has been revised to support our operational and strategic transformation and enhance our ability to attract and retain the best talent and skills. Key outcomes will be progress on the ‘One Imperial’ culture journey, a consistent ‘One Imperial’ employee experience, the ability to place the right talent in the right places in the right jobs and the development of an organisation development practice.
A key aspect of the people strategy is to transform the People and Culture function from a focus on transactional HR services to the delivery of strategic transformational HR services that support business growth. We will measure the success of our people strategy using employee turnover, internal and external employee value proposition measures and employee engagement.
