In 2025, we completed another two cycles of our Champions engagement programme – a crucial initiative for enabling open and constructive dialogue within our teams – and saw employee participation reach a record high. 

Champions is led by our people managers and organised in partnership with Gallup, the leading expert in the science of employee engagement. The programme gives all colleagues the opportunity to anonymously rate statements precisely crafted to measure employee engagement. Our managers then share the results with their teams and work together to agree actions for improved engagement, including follow-up meetings to track progress.

The positive impact of Champions on our colleagues around the world is clear. The team action planning sessions are not only helping to create stronger working relationships between managers and their teams, but also generating new ideas, from local initiatives supporting employee wellbeing to new development opportunities.
