Running a diverse business like Tate & Lyle, which develops, manufactures and sells a huge variety of products and services to customers in different markets across the world, relies on a team of highly skilled, motivated people from a wide range of disciplines.
At 31 March 2008, Tate & Lyle employed 6,488 people in its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Our workforce encompasses a broad range of skills and experience in areas such as food science, sales and marketing, engineering and business support services.
Talent management
It is a key objective for the Group to attract and retain top-quality recruits, and to ensure that our employees develop and grow in their roles and meet new challenges as their careers progress. To help achieve these objectives, we have developed and are implementing ‘The Tate & Lyle People Strategy’. This consists of four main components:
■ Behaviours for Success – these encourage our people to display strong leadership at all stages of seniority by exhibiting identified key characteristics and behaviours we need for success, such as a focus on excellent customer service.
■ Talent Management – a system which addresses key business issues such as succession planning and filling development gaps to ensure we have the right skills to grow the Group at all levels.
■ Leadership Curriculum – this provides opportunities for all managers across the Group to improve their skills and expand their knowledge through a number of tailored programmes, seminars and courses.
■ Graduate Development – a Group-wide graduate recruitment and development programme to attract and develop top talent and prepare them for key roles across the Group.
Our remuneration policies are designed to attract, retain and reward employees of the highest calibre and experience to help execute the Group’s strategy.
