Engagement And Retention
At Kingspan we use multiple tools to drive talent
retention. These include traditional motivational
tools such as reviews and objective setting, but
there is also the opportunity to join a network of
people across the Company to drive real change
through innovation and engagement with our
Planet Passionate initiatives. We are building
a network of Planet Passionate Champions to
help scale local action at our sites across the
globe. In 2021, our employees conducted over 20
Planet Passionate related project initiatives at
our locations around the world including waste
workshops, local clean-up projects, tree planting
events, and deployment of beehive sanctuaries.
In 2021 we redesigned and relaunched Kingspan’s
Internal Career Portal which provides an open
and transparent forum for Kingspan employees
to learn about and apply for career opportunities
across all our businesses worldwide. It has a
wealth of information about the types of roles
and skills that are in demand to deliver on our
strategic objectives.
Next Generation of Leaders
Kingspan continues to be an attractive employer
of choice for young, talented graduates with a
44% increase in applications to our global website
in 2021 for graduate positions.
Graduates participated in our Yours to Shape
development programme which was in its fifth
consecutive year in 2021. The objective of the
programme is to provide new graduates with
a network to collaborate across the Group and
develop the capabilities to drive their career
in Kingspan. It spans 12-months of interactive
workshops, peer coaching, masterclasses with
senior executives and assignments on the Promote
e-learning platform. This culminated in the annual
Graduate Projects Showcase in September 2021
where the participants representing 13 different
Kingspan Group plc Annual Report & Financial Statements 2021
countries presented five business improvement
projects to a wide-ranging internal audience across
Kingspan. The next cohort, which commenced with
a launch in November 2021, is our largest group of
international graduates to-date with 45 participants
of which one third are female.
High Impact Leadership Development
PEAK (Programme for Executive Acceleration in
Kingspan) was launched in 2018 and is targeted
at middle to senior managers who are currently, or
will soon commence, managing a team. It aims
to increase leadership diversity by deepening and
widening the pool of potential senior leaders to
match the increasing scale and global nature of
the business. Over 100 executives have participated
in PEAK which has strengthened cross divisional
relationships as well as led to further integration of
executive talent from recent acquisitions.
Advanced Management Programme
An Advanced Management Programme was
launched in May 2021 in partnership with INSEAD’s
executive business school in France. This new
programme supports Kingspan’s senior leaders to
engage with the enterprise level goals in a more
collaborative way while transforming their leadership
capabilities to drive significant long-term growth.
Thirty of our senior executives attended a weeklong residential programme on INSEAD’s campus
in Fontainebleau in November 2021 as well as
undertaking a 5-week online module on Innovation
in the Age of Disruption.
We held our inaugural Developing Leaders as
Coaches cross divisional programme in 2021. This
has led to the development of a Kingspan Code of
Coaching which clarifies the rules of engagement
and aligns with the Company’s core values and
Code of Conduct. We will continue to roll out
this programmes next year to ensure the ongoing development of formal coaching skills and
consistency of practice globally.
