Empowering People

Operating safely is a core value at The Vita Group. We continuously seek to reduce hazards, lower risk, and engineer safety in all we do.

We have introduced a diversity and inclusion policy for the Group as we see it as our responsibility to create a diverse, representative and inclusive workforce as an important commitment to our employees and wider society. We subscribe wholeheartedly to the philosophy that good diversity practices ‘widen the gate’ and truly inclusive workforces are happier, healthier and more productive. We require our senior leadership recruitment partners to provide diverse short lists to ensure that we are seeing the best candidates on the market.

Living The Vita Group’s Values

To bring our Purpose and Values to life we’ve worked with a gamification specialist to launch a digital engagement programme. The programme makes our Purpose and Values real for our employees so they can understand them, why they matter and how to apply them to their work within The Vita Group. Dave Kowal, Group HR Director, said: “Being a purpose led organisation is the foundation of our culture. Our purpose defines who we are and how we work together to deliver for our customers, one another and our stakeholders.”

Since 2016, we have been investing in our Vita Towards Zero (VTZ) programme. The VTZ initiative reduces risks and hazards through broad-based employee engagement in safety, training on risk identification and risk reduction. The programme has resulted in training taken place across all our sites with risk reduction projects and activities taking place across the business.

Our ambitious Empowering People objectives are:

We comply with all employment legislation and good practice, including opposing all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination, recognising that equality and diversity principles lead to a healthier and more productive organisation.
We are committed to good employee and industrial relations, working cooperatively with recognised works councils and trade unions wherever we can.
We encourage employees to support the wider community and to see themselves as custodians of The Vita Group’s unique heritage and legacy.

We encourage a culture centred on our Purpose and Values, where employees are treated with trust and fairness, and where they can apply their best effort and cooperate actively in business improvement and innovations.
We strive to be a world-class safety organisation, with year on year reductions in lost time accidents.
We encourage employee development and training to improve both the capabilities and competencies of our employees and The Vita Group’s capacity to deliver.
