People and talent
One of my personal priorities is to ensure that National Grid is a place where our employees are able to perform and grow to the best of their potential. If we are to meet the challenges we are setting, National Grid needs to be able to attract and retain the very best. Our approach to inclusion and diversity, including all of the Executive Directors sponsoring a UK and US network, ensures that we are working to draw from the widest possible talent pools, although we still have a long way to go. We were delighted to be included again this year in The Times ‘Top 50 Organisations Where Women Want To Work’.
Our Apprenticeship Scheme
We continue to invest in our Apprenticeship Scheme to ensure we have the necessary
talent to drive our business forward, providing opportunities and training for 79 new
people this year alone. Since 2004, 305 apprentices have taken part in the scheme.
