Human Resources

Atkins is a people based business which prospers to the extent that it is able to harness, develop and deploy the energies and skills of its employees. Human Resources (HR) objectives are therefore linked closely to wider business objectives and are to:

• recruit and retain staff with the best skills available across the markets in which the Group operates;
• provide a working environment within the skills of our employees can be used effectively, promoting resource sharing and skills transfer across the Group;
• invest in the development of our employees to meet the growing needs of the Group and its customers for a wide range of management, professional and technical skills;
• reward staff on the basis of performance and provide an opportunity for them to become and remain shareholders in the Group;
• strive to remain an "employer of choice", particularly for graduate recruits; and
• deal with all staff equitably as well as managing the employment liabilities of the Group.
