Across our businesses we hold a variety of employee reward and awards events to recognise individual and team successes. Our people across the Group are also recognised for their length of service, where we know from experience the value of experienced and loyal staff.

Apprenticeship and graduate programmes are run across the Group. There are currently 3 graduates, 6 apprenticeship schemes and 11 internships/student placements across the Group. The UK Christie Group businesses are utilising their apprenticeship levy funding for new apprentices or to add to the skills of existing employees.

Where we have been unable to fully use our apprenticeship levy for our own businesses, we have chosen to gift some of that levy to other businesses within our sectors. In 2025 we gifted £45,000 of our apprenticeship levy pot to other businesses within our sectors and have a further £26,000 committed for 2026.

Our long-term success depends on our expertise to deliver a high-quality service to our customers. To achieve this, we are committed to attracting and nurturing high calibre people and structured career development to support sustained value creation for the business. During 2025, senior management invested time and resources into reviewing and designing leadership programmes to equip our current and future leaders with the skills needed to deliver each business’s strategic plans effectively and to respond to the competitive environment. These leadership programmes commenced during 2025.

All our subsidiaries are committed to the health and safety of their employees.

Across the Group, our businesses continue to remain dedicated to enhancing employee mental health and well-being through various initiatives, including the Cycle 2 work scheme, webinars, and events focused on healthy habits, gender-specific health, work-life balance, and stress management. Our organisation has also trained Mental Health First Aiders who are available across all our locations.

We provide access to an online wellbeing platform and Employee Assistance Programmes along with other employee benefits which form part of the Group’s wider commitment to supporting disabled and neurodivergent colleagues. We seek to ensure that disabled persons are given full and fair consideration during recruitment, are supported to remain in employment through appropriate adjustments, training and wellbeing support, and are provided with equal opportunities for career development and progression.

Our efforts continue to reinforce our dedication to fostering a supportive and healthy work environment, with health and well-being remaining key priorities within our group, recognising that this is vital to ensuring our people can continue to provide our clients with the service and skill levels that they have come to expect.
