Our strategy
Continue to build our strong culture of operating as one company across business lines, geographies and sectors
Every aspect of our vision depends upon our people, the strength of their relationships and the way they work together.
Progress
- Our 2007 staff engagement survey shows a very high level of engagement and commitment to 3i's goals. Employee engagement is the extent to which employees are committed to their role, their team and the Group and its objectives.
- Our People Programmes for Chairmen and Chief Executives are now operating in Europe, Asia and the US.
Key risk factors
- Ability to attract, develop and retain people with requisite skills, experience and cultural fit.
- Effectiveness of knowledge management and sharing.
- Effectiveness of decision-making in matrix structure.
- Flexibility of resourcing model to adapt to change.
Performance
Employee engagement
The 2007 staff survey in which 78% of staff took part showed engagement up three points to 87% (2006: 84%). High scores from questions which test employee engagement have a direct positive impact on employee retention and productivity.
