Johnson Matthey reviews

Hi Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We really are committed to inspiring, growing and investing in our people, so it’s a shame that your experiences haven’t left you feeling that way. In terms of investment, we’ve been working hard to establish global standards to ensure every member of our team has the same opportunities to grow and reach their potential. Part of this has been the roll out of consistent career paths, which are intended to give clarity on how each person can progress. We’ve also been working on global learning and development resources, and have announced new universal standards for things like parental leave and flexible working. Diversity is an important topic for us, and although we’ve been making some good progress we do accept there’s still some work to be done. We’ve set ambitious diversity and inclusion targets and are committed to creating as diverse a workforce as possible and a workplace where everyone feels welcome. We now have a three year D&I roadmap, and last year, we set up employee-led resource groups representing the perspectives of employees with lots of different experiences, for example Pride in JM, our LGBT+ group. In the last year or two we’ve increased the focus on communicating our strategy. In our first global employee survey, we heard that people wanted more clarity on our strategy, and it was encouraging to see that broadly speaking, this has improved in the most recent survey. But implementing and delivering a strategy does take time, and we’re now in our second year of cascading the strategy and priorities down into individual objectives. This process relies on quality conversations between line managers and their teams and as such both parties are responsible for ensuring there is a good understanding of what’s expected. We have also introduced training for line managers to support them with this activity. Again thank you for your feedback, and if you’d like to pick this up further please feel free to get in touch with me directly. Best, Philippa Kramer HR Director
