 designed to ensure that Directors were afforded various opportunities to interact with colleagues across the Group. A non-exhaustive extract of the 2024 programme can be seen below. In structuring the programme, two mechanisms were used through which the Board engaged with the workforce. First, targeted events for Board members during Board travel or as individual Director location allowed, and second, Board members joined pre-existing Group employee events scheduled throughout the year. This approach allowed the Board to meet a diverse group of colleagues and participate in a broad range of different engagements. Engagement events were held in three broad formats; in-person events, larger- scale events, including town halls; and virtual events. Visits to Global Services Centres (‘GSCs’) took on a variety of formats, mixing exchange sessions with floor walks, networking lunches and town halls. Engagements across all formats were designed to promote open dialogue and two-way discussions between the attending Directors and colleagues. When designing the programme at the start of 2024, it took into account the Group’s key strategic areas of focus in place at the time and thereby worked to complement the Board’s priorities and agenda for 2024. Structuring the programme in this way meant that when the Board travelled for Board meetings to different regions, in-person engagements were arranged as part of the Board timetabling, which were highly valued by colleagues and Board members alike. A key component of the 2024 programme was visits to GSCs in locations that were convenient to scheduled Board travel. Further engagement events, town halls and meetings with the workforce were scheduled throughout the year either in person, where individual Director location allowed, or virtually.
