People

One of Codis’ aspirations is to be an admired employer; people will want to join Codis as a place of opportunity, accomplishment and diversity. People who work with Codis will recognise that the environment created is a place where innovation and creativity can thrive. Codis continue to adopt a consultative approach with their employees through employee committees and surveys. The commitment to the evolving program can be evidenced this year through the focus on up-skilling, equity and engagement. Goals for improvement are set locally and approved at Board level.

Up-Skilling
Up-skilling is vital to the evolution and success of Codis. They have introduced new practices to identify and nurture emerging aptitude during the year. This includes an evaluation of skills, career path planning and succession preparation for senior roles. Other activities include:

• Coaching for improvement
• Development of relationships with local Universities in the UK.
  

Equity
Diversity and parity have always been a part of the way Codis conducts business; a ‘Standard of Principles’ has been developed to form part of its compliance framework. This outlines the standards which Codis is expected to meet regarding diversity and equality amongst other things and communicates to employees Codis’ stance. .

Engagement
Codis has always placed great import on employee engagement levels and methods to improve employee fulfillment and thus improve the client experience and ultimately business performance.
