We can achieve nothing without the dedication and commitment of our employees.

We value their contribution and respect their individuality. The range of skills, experiences, outlooks and approaches they bring enriches our business and gives us a key advantage in tackling the huge challenges we’re facing.

Our philosophy is that the relationship we have with our colleagues isn’t simply an employer/employee one: it’s a partnership and in return for what our employees receive they can expect us to provide a working environment that:

  • Is safe and healthy
  • Is inclusive and makes individuals feel valued and respected
  • Encourages personal growth, lifelong learning and development
  • Encourages high performance
  • Recognises and rewards individuals’ contributions appropriately, including an attractive and flexible pay and benefits package
  • Engages employees in our Changing Energy strategy, so that they understand what we’re trying to achieve and the role they have to play
  • Embraces and manages change responsibly

If we make E.ON a great place to work, where employees feel valued, we’ll attract and retain the best people to provide our customers with the service they deserve and help us transform the UK into a low carbon society.

Illustrating our staff initiatives

  • Our lost time injury frequency (LTIF)LTIF is an indicator of safety and health performance and looking after E.ON's people for contractors fell from 4.51 in 2007 to 2.72 at the end of 2009. We’re now recognised as setting the benchmark for the E.ON Group in this area
  • Our Diversity Leadership Group highlights our Executive Board’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and a company wide survey took place in 2009
  • We run quarterly PRIDE surveys that ask our employees a range of questions about working at E.ON. This gives us a regular update on how we’re regarded as an employer
  • At least 2,500 colleagues dial in to a quarterly live question and answer session with our Chief Executive and his Board colleagues
  • Despite our best efforts, the recession in 2009 saw the loss of around 450 jobs in our UK business, mainly due to restructuring in our retail and energy services businesses. Employees affected were consulted at every stage and those who did leave received severance packages as well as support in finding new jobs
